President Roosevelt tells Leonard Darwin that he will accept honorary membership into the Royal Geographical Society. However, he will do so on the condition that if he addresses the club, it can be about what he saw in Africa. He also notes that he may wish to do only an informal talk for members, rather than something for publication.
