George S. Mackenzie encloses a letter which Harry Johnston has written from Washington. Mackenzie understands that the Boma Trading Company is doing the outfitting for President Roosevelt’s upcoming trip to Africa, and does not want to interfere. He thinks it is better if G. C. Napier and the Boma Trading Company deal with Roosevelt directly regarding the horses he wants from India. Mackenzie asks Napier to advise Roosevelt about Boma’s receipt of the letter and to explain why and whether they will be the ones undertaking the business.
