President Roosevelt encourages Edward North Buxton to attend the inauguration with his daughter, although Roosevelt cannot invite him to stay at the White House. The president tells Buxton to write soon about accommodations and says he will be glad to give Buxton a personal letter for the commandant in Yellowstone Park so that Buxton’s daughter can photograph wild animals. Roosevelt promises to help Buxton outfit the camping trip when Buxton says he will definitely use it.
