F. R. Wingate discusses the arrangements he is making and is planning to make for President Roosevelt’s upcoming safari in Africa. Roosevelt will visit the Sudan in the later part of his trip, and Wingate says it would be helpful if Roosevelt could communicate with him during the first part of the trip so that he knows which arrangements to make. In particular, Wingate discusses Roosevelt’s chances of shooting elephants, buffalo, lions, and white rhinoceros in the Sudan.
