Letter from Frederick Courteney Selous to Theodore Roosevelt

Frederick Courteney Selous thanks President Roosevelt for allowing him to use Julius Fleischmann’s account of witnessing crocodiles attack a rhinoceros in his upcoming book, African Nature Notes and Reminiscences. Although Selous is dubious about certain details in Fleischmann’s story, he nevertheless believes in its overall veracity and shares his own recollection of attempting to chase after a cheetah while on horseback.
