President Roosevelt would like to have Francis Richard Charles Guy Greville, the Earl of Warwick, come to the White House and tell him about the big game in Africa. Roosevelt was especially pleased to hear that Warwick, at fifty-five, felt healthy and happy in British East Africa. Roosevelt himself is only fifty but has “led a very sedentary and harassing life,” and has “rather a game leg,” and acknowledges that his trip will have to be an “elderly gentleman’s trip.”
