Percy C. Madeira thanks President Roosevelt for his offer to provide an introduction to Alaska governor Wilford B. Hoggatt. He asks him to write the introduction and provide an autographed photograph if it is not too much trouble. Madeira invites Roosevelt and his son Kermit to Philadelphia to see his “African bag,” which has been mounted. Finally, Madeira suggests that Roosevelt get metal-covered ammunition for his trip and send his supplies to Africa a month in advance.
