President Roosevelt returns the memorandum that Edward North Buxton sent him with a few changes. Roosevelt has been preparing for his African safari, and says that he plans to bring his son Kermit Roosevelt in spite of warnings from some people that he should not go along. Roosevelt believes the East African climate is healthy, however, and says that if he needs to, he will send Kermit back if there is any risk.
