President Roosevelt is looking forward to visiting Arthur Hamilton Lee while in England. If Roosevelt visits in the fall he would be pleased to visit Lee’s hunting lodge, and he details his experiences in deer stalking and fox hunting. Roosevelt agrees with Lee on international athletics and finds that such competition often ends in an unhealthy bitterness. Roosevelt will read The Quarterly, in particular the article on Germany, and he has things to say to Lee in person rather than on paper.
