The Winchester Repeating Arms Company would like to know how the cartridges should be packed during the journey to Africa. Usually they put 1,000 cartridges to a case. In this case, they can put a few of each kind of cartridge in a case and any quantity that President Roosevelt wants. The cases that are shipped to Mombasa will be tin-lined to prevent water damage.
