Sir Alfred E. Pease writes to Edward North Buxton regarding President Roosevelt’s upcoming safari in Africa. Pease encloses a letter for Roosevelt to give to George Hutton Riddell, if he chooses to use his services, and makes many other suggestions about things Roosevelt should consider for his trip, including the probable weather, the number of porters he should hire, and the sorts of saddle he will need. Pease would be pleased to have Roosevelt stay with him for some time in Africa.
