F. A. Clifford and Jacob A. Fagerlund, two prospectors, ask Theodore Roosevelt to settle their argument about the name of the ranchman that he stayed with while in Nairobi. Clifford believes it was “McMillan,” while Jacob thinks it is “McAllister.” They send Roosevelt some dried specimens of desert flowers and a mesquite clipping to plant in his yard as a reminder of Arizona.
