President Roosevelt agrees with Emily Tyler Carow that Somerville P. Tuck is a good judge and deserves to be promoted, and has advised the Egyptian government as such. Roosevelt details some of his plans for his upcoming African safari, and asks if it would be possible to meet in Naples. Roosevelt describes a camping trip he took with “all of the younger children.” Roosevelt believes William H. Taft will be elected president.
