John L. Harrington writes to President Roosevelt to follow up on a conversation they had at a recent lunch, and gives Roosevelt some details about a journey on the Upper Nile that he took in 1904. Harrington has already been making some arrangements for Roosevelt to be able to hunt during this leg of the journey. He appends a copy of a map of the region to the letter for Roosevelt to look at.
