Washington 9 D.C, 
Dear Ted, 
Very many thanks for your letter of the 30th July 
and for putting our case to the Educational TV people, very 
kind of you to have acted so promptly. 
I feel a certain urgency over film possivilities 
here because the country is changing so fast that soon it will 
be impossible to find the old pattern of African Native life 
anywhere, I cannot do any more work in this direction untill 
we have been able to realise some of the capital invested in 
our first film, There are many other aspects which I would so 
lixe to cover before they have disappeared. Because of our long 
and very friendly association with people here we can do more 
in this particular than a visiting film or TV company. I've 
primed Derek Monk so that should Dr. Hunter approach him he 
will be aware of your introduction. 
So far there is no more on the Bongo front. 
There has been some heavy rain recently which may have 
caused the animals to move off. One Dik-dik caught. so far 
doing well, One diaster, Karanja managed to let loose the 
Doherty’ s Bush Shrike. | | 
Your Letter: of duly the 7th got mislaid and we 
very worroed because we did'nt want to have to ask you to 
sena us a copy. It had got caught up in another file and has 
been found, We had both read it but had not studied it, which 
we will now do and answer ali the queries. In the meantime I 
enclose a list of the prices we worked out for George Speidel 
and which surely will do for any birds which we hope to get 
for you, anyway give it your directorial consideration, 
We are both. very 
sorry to read in: your letter 
of the 50th that you are not planning to come out here now 
soon, It is a big d 
| Tony and I can quite understand 
those three Wildebecstes for Mrs, 
Same experience from staff who should have kn 
disappointment to us all, 
how you felt about 
Tankersley. We have had the 
own better. It 
is a personal shake up all the same because one always wonders 
where things began to go wrong and how much is one to bdlame 
oneself.
