To Sir Alfred E. Pease.
Dear Sir Alfred,—I am very much pleased that you are to write a book about lion-hunting.Very, very few people have an experience which better justifies such a book. It is the king ofall sports when carried on as you have carried it on, especially when you gallop the lion, and then kill him on foot as he charges or prepares to charge as a lion thus rounded up will generally do. I am peculiarly pleased to have you write the book, for it was under your guidance that I first tried lion-hunting.
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
