If ¥0 u have any questions or suggestions, please let me know. The 
copy of the attached application was ‘the first submitte a and does not 
include the budget figures. We are now preparing the second application. 
Incidentally, I have had several conversations with Dr. Claud Smith 
about keeping the bongo in quarantine in Nairobi for shipping cut. He 
seems favorablg inclined but noncommittal. 
I thank Tony for sending me the pictures. The holiday down at the 
beach sounds wonderful, and I can imagine the joy you had with the boat. 
Young Dillon rhino continues to do well, and the giraffe is expecting 
momentarily. All the female wildebeests are heavy with calf, and the 
Cape buffalo are going to have a baby. 
Under separate cover Iam sending you some black and white 8x10 
pictures of our white rhinos, black rhinos, giraffes, so that you can

show them to your co-workers i le em see the animals that you 
have shipped cut. 
fam also sending you a book on cannon netting and trying to find 
cut more about rocket netting. We have sent you price lists from time 
to time. 
I have a recurring nightmare of falling off a 400-foot cliff that looks 
suspiciously like Hell's Gate. But this is negated by such happy 
memories of gerenuk standing in the middle of the road, five giraffes 
hiding among the trees, as well as little hyraxes jumping around the 
rocks, and wonderful, wonderful elephants. 
With best regards to you all, 
sincerely yours,
