President Roosevelt delightedly thanks Arthur Hamilton Lee for the gift of Pinckney Marcius-Simons’s painting, “Seats of the Mighty.” Roosevelt has been trying to find the perfect place worthy of the piece. George Nathaniel Curzon, Chancellor of Oxford, invited Roosevelt to deliver the Romanes lecture upon returning from Africa. While in England, Roosevelt looks forward to seeing Lee and his wife, Ruth Moore Lee. Everything is going well politically, and Roosevelt believes William H. Taft will be elected.
