President Roosevelt has received the double-barreled shotgun and thinks it is the most beautiful gun he has ever seen. He asks A. H. Fox if it has been tested with ball and buck. Roosevelt has sent the gun to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company to have it packed air-tight for his trip. He asks Fox to send them instructions to ship 25 ball and 25 buck cartridges in brass cases with the guns.
