Ambassador Hill brings the enclosed map to President Roosevelt’s attention. It was created by Walther von Wiese und Kaiserswaldau at the request of the late Baron Hermann Speck von Sternburg. Von Wiese und Kaiserwaldau serves in the military in German East Africa, and is also an avid sportsman. The map indicates conditions and locations of game in German East Africa. Hill notes that if Roosevelt ends up going into German East Africa, he should give him sufficient time to allow the Imperial Government to extend the appropriate courtesies.
