Dear Ted: 
We all very much appreciate your kind thought to tle- 
phone us yesterday and of course were immensely relieved to 
hear that you are unable to leave America before October 8th 
because Tony was very worried that he would have been unable 
to get everything ready in time. 
We rather agree with your opinion of the Bronco as the 
few demonstrations here don't seem to be very satisfactory 
so I will do everything I can to secure a Toyota or Land Rover, 
Don't worry about any photographs of preparation that 
Nelson Brown may like to have because all this can be done at 
a suitable site away from the catching area. 
Tony has now decided that he will rely on local people 
only to visit the traps because the bongo are used to the scent 
that these chaps leave behind them when walking about the 
forest collecting their honey. 
Tony has also compiled some very interesting notes and has 
learned a lot about bongo movements. 
We have discovered some interesting aspects about the Alan 
Root operation about which we will tell you when you arrive. 
Mike returned at the weekend and reported to Tony on the 
area that he-had covered and he goes off today to cover the 
remaining two areas that Tony wishes to explore before making 
his final selection. He will then have covered a vast stretch 
of country and will be able to select his site from actual know— 
ledge rather than hearsay. 
The alterations to the guest house are completed and 1 think 
you will find them a great improvement. I confirm that Nelson 
Brown can base himself here and we will cater for him and 
purchase for him equipment such as blankets, camp bed etc.,
