Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Bernard Goldsmith
President Roosevelt informs Bernard Goldsmith that he will not be able to visit Abyssinia (present day Ethiopia). Roosevelt explains that he wishes to travel as a private citizen during his upcoming African safari, and if he attended one court, he would have to make official visits wherever he goes. He also mentions that he would also rather hunt by himself than with an emperor and his retinue accompanying him. Roosevelt would like to see Goldsmith when he returns to the United States.
