President Roosevelt hopes that Baron Komura’s health continues to improve. Columbia University president Nicholas Murray Butler would like Komura and Sergei Witte to receive honorary degrees from the school, and Roosevelt hopes they will accept. In a postscript, Roosevelt suggests that Komura speak with his doctors about taking a cruise on the presidential yacht the Mayflower as soon as he’s fully recovered.
