If it is no bother to William H. Michael, American Consul General in India, President Roosevelt asks if he would send enough green shikari cloth to make two suits to Newland, Tarlton & Company in Nairobi. The cloth cannot be obtained in the United States, and Roosevelt has heard it is the best for hunting in the forest. The bill should be sent to Douglas Robinson.
