Edward North Buxton believes that President Roosevelt is correct in his choice of what firearms to bring along on his safari, but if he wished to make any alterations there is still plenty of time to get a larger bore gun. Buxton has spoken with Ambassador Whitelaw Reid about sending Roosevelt a rifle to test in a sealed Foreign Office Packet. He additionally offers comments on a number of supplies that Roosevelt is bringing or may wish bring on his safari, including types of cartridges, clothing, and food.
