Theodore Roosevelt was very interested in Edmund Heller’s letter, as was Kermit Roosevelt who happened to be visiting when Heller’s letter arrived. Roosevelt wishes that the three of them could take another trip together, but he cannot foresee any such opportunity. The information Heller relayed about the eland and its similarity to the bongo was particularly interesting to Roosevelt, and he is happy that Heller’s pamphlet on the species will soon be published.
