Dr. T. H. Reed, 
Director, 
The National Zoological Park, 
Washington 9 D.C, 
Dear Ted, 
Am very glad to be able to tell you that your young 
female Bongo from The Ivery Coast has settled down very well. 
It appears to be in good hea lth and has suffered only very 
minor scratches during the journey. We have housed it on the 
opposite side of our compund so it is isolated from the other 
animals but have not arranged a strict quarantine set up as 
in view of the vetinary certificates it seemed unecessary. 
: The American Embassy got moving quickly in the end 
and did act as I suggested and obtained a cable version of 
a Government Health Certificate worded as required by our 
Vetinary Dept. here. This cable version was received a few 
hours prior to the arrival of the Bongo so there was no delay 
at the Airport, the cable being regarded as authoritative. 
We will keep in touch and if there are any signs 
of trouble will let you know at once and will also take 
immediate action with one of our Vetinarian friends. 
All the details of coloyation etc. you will have 
from Clinton Gray, also that one ear has suffered a cut 
at some earlier period in its life. We will get some photos 
taken and let you have them, 
We could not send the Volabus Monkey in the end 
having made complicated arrangements so that although it 
left here on a different airline and passed throughiLondon it 
met up with the birds at New York and would have gone on to 
Washington with them so that you only had to meet one flight. 
Rome it seems will not allow monkeys through the airport and 
London was havéng one of its usual disputes. I hope the 
Porcupine has'nt turned out to be too costly, the freight 
on it with other charges amounted to $98. We cut the box down \A 
as much as we thought advisable. I do hope they all arrived 
in good order, 
Your's very sincerely, yi
