President Roosevelt thanks Lewis Morris Iddings, American Consul General in Egypt, for what he has done in helping Roosevelt to prepare for his safari. Roosevelt is confident that the mosquito boots will be all right, but promises to inform Iddings if something is wrong with them. Roosevelt is “quite overcome by the kindness of all [his] friends, English and American.”
