Letter from Frederick Courteney Selous to Theodore Roosevelt

He is taking the pamphlet with him to Africa to read on the ship. Selous will first stop in Paris, France to receive a medal from the French Academy of Sports in recognition of his big game hunting, and then travel with friends to Kenya. Selous would like to go back to Bahr el ghazal and study the Kob and the ways it changes color each year.
