Letter from Edmund Heller to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Africa, Elands, Zoological surveys, Zoology

Edmund Heller thanks Theodore Roosevelt for his patience while he took his time deciding whether or not to go on another hunting trip to Africa. He will be able to complete the giant eland publication that Roosevelt wants on the voyage over to Africa. Heller looks forward to returning because his principal focus is on working on specimens Roosevelt collected in Africa. However, he is optimistic about this upcoming trip because he has more fieldwork knowledge than he did the last time he went.
