Frederick Courteney Selous recounts the results of several of his recent hunting trips to Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt. Selous regrets that he will have to put off meeting Roosevelt in person slightly longer, as he has now been invited to attend the meeting of the British Association in Toronto, Canada, and will travel to the Rocky Mountains directly from there. He then plans to travel to the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming and hunt elk. Selous anticipates that he will be able to meet Roosevelt after his hunt, and looks forward to it. He thanks Roosevelt for the assistance he has already given in planning the trip, and requests that he send him a map.
