Charles Fletcher Lummis wishes President Roosevelt “Good Hunting” while he is in Africa, and hopes to give him “a lot of good stuff” from his collection on Spanish America once he gets back. Lately, Lummis has been receiving “nice reminders” from those involved in the Apache Wars. Lummis attaches a signed photograph of himself and would like Roosevelt to send one of himself.
