President Roosevelt asks Philip Battell Stewart if he still recommends D. B. Fairley for a consulship and explains he is having a terrible time figuring out how to fill the vacancies. Roosevelt also inquires more about the hunting trip Stewart has suggested and asks Stewart to follow up with John B. Goff about the conditions. Roosevelt believes this could be the last hunt he takes as president, and he wants it to be under “the most favorable circumstances.”
