President Roosevelt sends the Mannlicher gun to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. He also sends a Fox double-barreled shotgun, and asks that both guns have cases and cleaning materials. He would like to know if the first shipment of cartridges has arrived in Mombasa. The Company should have a representative aboard the ship to turn the guns over to him in person and to show him where the cartridges have been stowed.
