Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edward North Buxton

President Roosevelt is worried about what he hears from Governor of Kenya James Hayes Sadler about an event at a ballroom of 150 people. He tells Edward North Buxton that if it would not appear “churlish,” he would like to avoid public and formal events when he first arrives in Africa and go straight to Alfred E. Pease’s ranch from Mombasa. Abel Chapman’s book has made Roosevelt worried about his ability to shoot wildebeest, as well as the possibility of catching fever. He reflects on his time as president and says he will leave office “pleased and contented.”

Letter from Frederick Courteney Selous to Theodore Roosevelt

Frederick Courteney Selous assures President Roosevelt that, in spite of the advice he has heard from Hubert Silberrad and Mr. Buchon, R. J. Cunninghame and William Northrup McMillan will be able to provide him with very good Somali hunters, trackers, and gunbearers for the trip. Buchon and Silberrad had suggested that Roosevelt should use natives who are familiar with the area, but Selous believes that the native tribes in British East Africa are not good hunters and trackers. Selous also suggests storing Roosevelt’s provisions and camp gear in Nairobi while he and Kermit are staying at Alfred Pease’s ranch.
