Theodore Roosevelt enjoyed hearing from Robert Harry Munro Ferguson. His current travel is his last “business trip,” and he hopes to see Ferguson and visit John Avery McIlhenny next time. Edward Grey recently wrote to him about his brother, George Grey. Roosevelt confirms that he wrote the article on Governor Morton. He agrees with Ferguson that Arizona and New Mexico should be admitted to statehood and that Great Britain needs time to reshape its government. Roosevelt wishes he could see Ferguson and his family.
