United States Ambassador Hill made inquiries about whether German Emperor William II received the copy of Theodore Roosevelt’s book, African Game Trails, and informs Frank Harper that the volume was directly received by the emperor and placed in his house library. Because he received it in this way, rather than through the usual diplomatic channels, a note of thanks was not written at the time. Hill has been asked to send Roosevelt William II’s “most sincere thanks for this ‘most interesting and magnificently executed work.'”
