President Roosevelt thanks Winston Churchill for the copy of his book, which Roosevelt has recently received through Ambassador Whitelaw Reid. Roosevelt read the chapters of the book as they were serially released, and was very interested both in the chapters about government, as well as those about hunting. Roosevelt hopes to have as good of luck on his safari in Africa as Churchill did.
