President Roosevelt thanks Governor Rodger for the invitation, but regrets that he will not be able to extend his journey long enough to visit the West Coast of Africa. He is pleased, however, by the chance that Rodger may be in England in 1910. Roosevelt will be there that spring, and hopes to see Rodger then.
