Carl Ethan Akeley tells President Roosevelt that he has sent him a model of an elephant head instead of sending drawings and photographs as he had previously promised. Akeley has also made Roosevelt a camp table that he would like to send him, and asks where he can send it. Akeley plans to write to Roosevelt again in a few days about his trip to British East Africa and the elephant group for the American Museum of Natural History.
