Edward North Buxton continues to help President Roosevelt gather equipment and supplies for his Africa trip. Buxton will make more inquiries into mosquito boots, and requests Roosevelt send measurements for himself and Kermit Roosevelt. The sample boots from Flack and Smith are ready, and Buxton suggests a good pair of socks to aid in absorbing perspiration.
