U. S. Minister Knowles sincerely thanks W. G. Glick for his telegram, the first of many after the “terrible affliction” he and his wife, Edith Ella Wallace Knowles, experienced. He discusses the circumstances surrounding the accident and death of Malcolm G. Knowles, his seven-year-old son. Knowles recalls Malcom’s talents and his joyous and kind nature. Due to the circumstances, Edith cannot remain in Bolivia. Therefore, Knowles asks Glick if he can be transferred to another post as he does not want to finish his assignment without his wife.

Knowles also asks Loeb to give his congratulations to Roosevelt on the results of the Republican National Convention and the nomination of Secretary of War William H. Taft as Republican candidate for president.
