Dear Ted: 
Thank you for your letter of October 27th. We had 
rather thought that either you were away or that you would be 
having other problems. 
I don't know whether I made myself quite clear in my 
letter of the 27th October, but we do have three Bongo up 
on the mountain at the present time in separate traps, and 
of course one here in Nairobi which is still doing very well, 
Together with your West African Bongo we have now five Bongo 
in all, 
The latest on the Bongo on the mountain is that they are 
all doing very well and the female up at Kanitia (where 
Nelson's camera was) is dmost ready to be transported down. 
We have already cut a ten ft track right up to the trap and 
designed a special crate for transporting her out. It is 
going to be a tremendous haul but then a bongo is a bongo and 
if one is determined enough virtually anything is possible, 
tf intend trying to get the Bongo out before the end of 
this month and as it is now beginning the short rains and in 
view of the fact that you are so busy, I would suggest that 
you try to come out in the New Year, as by then we should be 
having good weather and with luck we might even have caught 
more Bongo, 
John will b 
at Keekorok Lodg 
writing to you separately about the booking 
L! oO 
to hear that is 
for John Perry, but anyway you might like 
in hand.
