Alfred E. Pease updates Edward North Buxton about life at his ranch in Africa. Pease says that his wife Helen Ann Fowler Pease and daughter Lavender Mary Pease are getting more adjusted to the “very rough life.” Pease is amazed by the amount of game in the area and says it no longer seems strange to see such a diverse lot of animals. He details several attempts to hunt wildebeest, hyenas, and lions and concludes by discussing the output of his farm.
