Ernest Thompson Seton informs President Roosevelt that the “Seton Beam” apparatus has just arrived, and is a credit to the company. Since Seton must leave for England, his wife, Grace Seton-Tompson will take charge, and it should reach Roosevelt within a week. Seton would be proud to have added any “efficiency” to the African Expedition.
