Hides and Skins Immunity Pack animals (Transportation) Tsetse-Flies Ward's zebras Zebras |
| Scope and Contents | Patterson writes that he is glad Ewart is pleased with the zebra skin, and that he shot the animal near the Iseolo River. He remarks that it is a shame that zebras are not domesticated, as East Africa badly needs animal transport immune from 'the [Tsetse] fly'. |
