Caspar Whitney understands President Roosevelt’s decision to not write a feature about his upcoming safari, and resolved that he will not have anyone else write it. Whitney instead suggests that Collier’s publish an article on the guns Roosevelt will be taking with him to Africa and proposes Horace Kephart, an avid sportsman himself, to write it. However, if Roosevelt has another author in mind, Whitney will be glad for him to write it.
