Caspar Whitney wants to publish an authoritative account of President Roosevelt’s plans for his safari in Collier’s magazine. He would like to feature a short article written by Roosevelt himself. If this is not possible, Whitney requests Roosevelt’s permission to contact his safari companion, Edgar Alexander Mearns, to ask the same. Whitney attaches a press release about his new column “Outdoor America” in Collier’s magazine.
