President Roosevelt hopes Arthur Hamilton Lee can visit this summer and is glad to hear about Prince Louis of Battenberg. If the British fleet is at Annapolis, Maryland, around October 1, Roosevelt will meet it there. Roosevelt tells Lee not to worry about a “possible contest” between England and the United States, as he treats it “as out of the question.” If the fleet is able to come between October 1 and October 18, Roosevelt will be able to receive the officers at the White House.
