Theodore Roosevelt was very interested to read Alfred E. Pease’s account of George Grey’s death, and has forwarded it to Earl Grey. He reflects on his own luck in having Pease instruct him in lion hunting, and comments that he did not think lions could attack as quickly as Pease said. Roosevelt looks forward to seeing Pease sometime, and sends greetings from his son, Kermit Roosevelt.
