Ronald Storrs, while stationed as Oriental Secretary in Cairo, recounts to Theodore Roosevelt an archeological expedition to Abu Simbel, by way of Aswan, that he took with Arthur Weigall. Weigall suggested Storrs send Roosevelt his article on the topic alongside photographs taken at the site, in the hopes that it could be published in The Outlook.
