Theodore Roosevelt tells Stewart Edward White that he has read White’s book Rediscovered Country about a hunting expedition in East Africa and was delighted by it. Roosevelt compares it to one of his own trips and earlier expeditions from European explorers including Sámuel Teleki, William Louis Abbott, and Arthur Henry Neumann. Roosevelt remarks that he felt better about bringing a camp chair on his South American expedition since White took one on his. Roosevelt notes how much the Wilson Administration is annoying him, and hopes that White and his wife Elizabeth White will visit soon.
