Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to F. R. Wingate
President Roosevelt thanks British Governor General of the Sudan Wingate for providing a boat in Gondokoro and offering assistance with guides and camp set up. He details his feelings regarding hunting in the reserves, and inquires about finding elephant, white rhinoceros, and giant eland. Roosevelt knows General George Wood Wingate and respects him as a soldier, and he is grateful that Lady Catherine Leslie Rundle Wingate will host Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt and Ethel Roosevelt. S. J. Leigh Hunt has said that Reginald has accomplished a great deal in Sudan, which Roosevelt knows is a difficult feat.

Letter from Edward North Buxton to Theodore Roosevelt
Edward North Buxton congratulates President Roosevelt on his recent victory in United States presidential election, and says that while he is sure Roosevelt would have appreciated some rest, his victory will make “all thoughtful people […] rejoice.” He regrets he has not been able to accept Roosevelt’s invitation to visit the United States yet, but wonders if he might be able to make it to Roosevelt’s inauguration. Buxton would like to visit some National Parks as well in order to do some wildlife photography, but is unsure how accessible they will be in winter, and asks for Roosevelt’s advice on the matter. He briefly comments on the Dogger Bank incident, and on relations with Russia.
