Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edward North Buxton

President Roosevelt is pleased that following a successful election in the United States, he can leave for his African safari with “a clear conscience and an easy heart.” Roosevelt questions Edward North Buxton at length about the specifications of the hunting rifles and ammunition he should use on the trip. He would like to avoid having a rifle sent over for him to try if it is possible, because he wants to avoid paying a heavy duty on it.
