Leigh S. J. Hunt wants to help entertain President Roosevelt in Khartoum, but has heard that Sirdar F. R. Wingate would also like this honor. If so, Hunt will propose that he fund the entertainments that Wingate hosts. Roosevelt will thus have access to excellent facilities without being beholden to anyone. Hunt asks that Roosevelt send along his post-presidency mailing address so that Hunt can update him after discussing the matter with Wingate.
