Edmund Heller assures President Roosevelt that he has not given out any statements on what they will be doing during their African expedition. Heller has found little information on the plants and animals of Africa in his research. He believes Roosevelt’s party will bring back more zoological material and information than any other expedition has ever obtained on East Africa.
