Theodore Roosevelt will do his best to provide the aid that Aline Jackson requests for East Africa, but since most charitable donors have already given to European causes, he is not sure how much he can promise. Roosevelt would like to write to her and her husband, Frederick John Jackson, about his South American expedition, but that seems too trivial to write about when the world is at war.
