Letter from Ernst Karl Hoyos-Sprinzenstein to Edward North Buxton

Ernst Karl Hoyos-Sprinzenstein hopes to see Edward North Buxton before traveling. He has heard from Frederick Courteney Selous about President Roosevelt’s plans to visit British East Africa on a safari after leaving office, and is sure he will enjoy it. Hoyos relates some of what he knows of Roosevelt’s proposed route, and talks about some of his own time hunting game in Africa.

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.
