Letter from Frederick Courteney Selous to Montagu White
Frederick Courteney Selous tells Montagu White that he has heard from Theodore Roosevelt and that Roosevelt is asking about the Second Boer War, though he feels he cannot take any public position on the issue. Selous does not believe that anything short of an independent republic for the Boers will lead to a lasting peace. Selous argues that the annexation of Dutch territories could lead to the loss of all South Africa.
