Very many thanks for the photos which were of 
great interest to us all here, espcially those men who are 
still with us that were on the rhino (white) catching safari, 
Thank you also for the notes on the cannon net trapping. 
We have not had time to study your proposals 
regarding the Bongo operation so I am not expressing any 
views in this letter. We will get down to it over the 
week end. 
| At present we are engaged in a rhino moving 
operation with John King and it is not easy for us to 
fit in with his methods, so we feel we are working ina 
muddle all round. Politically it is policy to co-operate 
for the moment. I cant say that I reaily approve of the 
way in wnich the whole expedition is run, especially the 
way in which the rhinos are hurried along to their new 
territory. We have already delivered some to the Nairobi 
National Park and yesterday there was a panic because a 
belicose hefty rhino had broken out of it's pen and was 
rampaging round the Army Camp which adjoins the Park. 
Since you were here the political scene has 
changed quite a lot and we are not at all sure what our 
future here will be. This .overnment is certainly having a 
war on the Asian community’ and everybody else gets caught 
up in it. We are doubtful if they really want us here, 
our men do ofcourse. It is all rather sad because this: 
country could go ahead so well. 
Many thanks for Fone me the price lists which 
are of interest and are a guide to us. :
