Dear Ted: 
Tony and I have been discussing your last letter which ~ 
arrived yesterday, which I acknowledged in a penned note 
at the bottom of the letter I had just written, On second 
thoughts we think that September lst is a bit early because 
we anticipate that Tony will have to make two or three 
recces in several areas before being able to decide on the 
most suitable area for these operations. At the moment 
Alan Root is installed in what would appear to be one of the 
best places in the Aberdare Mountains outside the Aberdare 
National Park. 
We both feel that it would be far better to have conm- 
pleted the refces and established a camp before you arrive 
here, and so I think your original suggestion of somewhere 
about mid September or September 20th is far better.\\If this 
clashes with the Pretoria Conference well then come here 
after the Conference, because bearing in mind that Alan Root x 
{hes caught one bongo in six months we visualise that our 
catching operations will carry us well into the New Year. 
You very kindly sent me a photostat copy of a price list 
which you had received from Van den Brink of Soest. Unfore- 
tunately I have mislaid this and I would be most grateful if 
you could send me another copy. 
With best wishes from us all, 
Yours very sincerely,
