President Roosevelt thanks Edward Brandegee, a family friend, for alerting him to the Walla Walla matter in a previous letter. Roosevelt regrets that Brandegee and his wife, Mary Brandegee, will be unable to attend the reception. Roosevelt is grateful for the Brandegees’ kindness to his son, Kermit Roosevelt, and expresses concern that the upcoming African safari will disrupt Kermit’s time at Harvard. Roosevelt appreciates Brandegee’s kind words regarding the end of his presidency and also attaches letters of introduction to Thomas Henry Barry, U.S. Army General, and Edwin V. Morgan, Minister to Cuba.
