just a business association, and we are determined you 
will have Bongo just as soon as we are able to catch 
them. 
As you remember, the rains when you were out here 
were exceptionally heavy. Well, it seems the weather is 
still not settled as we are supposed to be in the middle 
of the dry season and it is raining like hell. But with 
luck it might mean the long rains as such could probably 
fail. 
John Sutton sent me the enclosed list of foodstuffs 
that he thinks Bongo eat. I hope soon to be adle to sit 
and watch them actually eating so we can say they do eat 
this and that. It would look so much better than saying 
we think this is what Bongo eat here. 
We have just returned from a very short holiday at 
Mombasa. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, but the 
fishing was very poor this year (etherwise I would still be 
down tnere:). There is ne doubt about it that when you do 
come back we must find time to take you down for afew days 
with the small beat. You would enjoy it so much. Can't 
you arrange to bring Elizabeth out with you? 
Everybody is fit and we have been doing a considerable 
amount of streamlining to our organisation. It was very 
kind of you to send me a copy of that long letter you wrote 
John. Amusingly enough when I asked John if there had been 
any mail he said ‘Oh, nothing very important - just another 
copy of the letter that Ted sent us the other day’. When I 
looked and saw it was addressed to me John was quite 
apologetic, so our idea that 1 should knew what is going on 
nearly misfired}

P.S, The list of animals you have on order with us is the 
ene we have had approved by the Capture Committee - 
80 perhaps you could let us know if there are any 
errors.
