President Roosevelt encloses Bishop Charles Henry Brent’s sermon and assures Silas McBee that he will talk to Brent. Unfortunately, Roosevelt must return to Washington, D.C., early, and he asks if it would be possible for McBee to bring Bishop of London Arthur F. Winnington Ingram to visit in Washington, D.C., rather than Oyster Bay. Roosevelt will play tennis with Ingram on the White House court.
