President Roosevelt hopes that by sending this letter care of Frederick Courteney Selous it will reach William Northrup McMillan, as he fears the ones sent to McMillan’s London address have not reached him. Roosevelt would be very pleased to visit McMillan’s ranch after he leaves Alfred E. Pease’s ranch. He asks McMillan to communicate with R. J. Cunninghame about the need for shikaris for the caravan, as he will be managing that for Roosevelt. Roosevelt recently had lunch with Sir John L. Harrington and Lady Amy McMillan Harrington. Roosevelt would like for McMillan to come spend a night at the White House before he leaves for Africa, if that is at all possible.
