President Roosevelt informs Lewis Morris Iddings, United States Consul General in Egypt, that he will likely be in Cairo a year from next March, and asks Iddings to pass along his thanks to ʻAbbās II, Khedive of Egypt. Roosevelt would appreciate the opportunity to hunt some game in the Upper Nile region, but will only shoot two specimens of each type, as he will be traveling primarily as a naturalist collecting material for the National Museum.
