Theodore Roosevelt describes his safari to his daughter Ethel. He praises Kermit Roosevelt’s skills but says he is still too reckless. Roosevelt has become very attached to Edmund Heller, R. J. Cuninghame, and Leslie J. Tarlton. The porters amuse him as well. Roosevelt has read almost all the books in his pigskin library.
