My dear Mr Akeley: 
Many thanks for your letter. Give 
my regards to McCutcheon. I look forward 
eagerly to meeting you both in Africa. 
You may mention that arrangement to Col. 
Hayee-Saddler. My only hope is that I 
may be able to help you to get the ele¬ 
phants , and I will do anything I can in 
reason do to meet you and go hunting with 
you. If by that time I find they are 
common in Uganda, perhaps we can go in 
Uganda for them. I feel strongly tempted 
to try that shot at the atlas vertebra. 
The head model is simply fine. 
Sincerely yours, 
Mr C. E, Akeley,
