Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hiram Percy Maxim

President Roosevelt thanks Hiram Maxim Percy for offering to put silencers on his rifles for the upcoming safari. Unfortunately, Roosevelt must decline since he already sent the rifles to be packed up and is getting ready to leave the White House. However, Roosevelt invites Percy to stop by and bring a rifle already pre-fitted with a silencer if he is available.
