J. H. Patterson comments that a letter he sent seems to have crossed one of President Roosevelt’s, and he thinks he already answered many of Roosevelt’s questions. Roosevelt can get most of what he needs in Nairobi, although he must be careful about which agents he uses there. Newland & Tarleton is not as reliable as they once were. Patterson offers to meet with Roosevelt in person to discuss the trip.
