President Roosevelt tells Gilbert John Murray Kynynmond Elliot, Earl of Minto and Viceroy of India that his daughter, Alice Longworth, has wished to travel to India for some time, but because her husband, Nicholas Longworth is a member of Congress they are not able to travel at the usual time. He asks Minto for advice regarding which dates it would be possible to see something of Southern India between late spring and early fall, in case they are able to make a trip there.
