President Roosevelt tells Melville Elijah Stone that “all that can be done against my will” is for the correspondents to go to Mombasa or Nairobi with Roosevelt, and then meet him again at Khartoum. Roosevelt is not particularly bothered by this, but it is a minor inconvenience. He does not want any reporters with him on his actual safari.
