Alfred E. Pease writes to President Roosevelt that he hopes the involvement of himself, Frederick Courteney Selous, and Edward North Buxton in making arrangements will not cause Roosevelt stress. Buxton seems to be advising against bringing William C. Judd along on Roosevelt’s travels, but the news Pease has heard makes him sound like he would be a fine choice. Pease responds to Roosevelt’s inquiries about locations, timing, species, and supplies for hunting on his Safari. Specifically, he warns him to dress in anticipation of mosquitoes.
