August Belmont has been in the wilderness hunting moose, and only recently heard of President Roosevelt’s accident. He hopes that Roosevelt’s life will not be similarly endangered again, and is grateful that he escaped injury. Belmont briefly describes his experience hunting moose with his sons, and hopes one day to be able to invite Roosevelt or his son, Theodore Roosevelt, on a similar hunt.
