Theodore Roosevelt expresses his admiration and appreciation for Dudley Field Malone’s public service and explains the misunderstanding that occurred between them. Roosevelt assumed that Malone would be unable to see him until he was also done with public life, which is the explanation for Roosevelt’s “half-jocular tone” in the invitations. Roosevelt is sorry that his sentiments were not appropriately conveyed and would like to see Malone and his wife any time.
