Frederick Courteney Selous has sent the provisions lists for President Roosevelt’s African expedition to Lawn & Alder. He has increased the number of boxes from 10 to 12, and included D. H. biscuits, which he believes Roosevelt will find very good. Selous spoke with Mr. Leakey, a district commissioner in Uganda, who has advised against taking a big medicine chest. If Roosevelt wants to make any changes to the provisions, he can contact Selous, who will contact Lawn & Alder.
