Whitelaw Reid, Ambassador to Great Britain, has recently spoken with F. R. Wingate, the Sirdar of Egypt. Wingate told Reid that Egypt is expecting President Roosevelt to visit during his African trip, and that he would be glad to assist Roosevelt in any way he could, including opening the game preserves. Reid promised to update Wingate on Roosevelt’s plans as soon as he could. Additionally, Reid suggests that Roosevelt contact Robert Offley Ashburton Crewe-Milnes about permits, as he has recently been made Secretary of State for the Colonies. Reid’s family has been having an extended reunion since a recent wedding.
