President Roosevelt thanks Lewis Harcourt for the invitation, and tentatively accepts. He requests, however, that he and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt be able to defer giving a definite answer until they are in London in the spring of 1910. Roosevelt is unsure how long they will be able to stay in England. Harcourt’s offer is very attractive to and Roosevelt believes they will be able to accept.
