Theodore Roosevelt was glad to hear from Spencer Borden, but unfortunately he is unable to help. Because he served as president, Roosevelt believes it would not be appropriate for him to give Borden any letters to pass on to individuals in foreign countries. Roosevelt advises Borden to request that a letter be sent from the State Department to the ambassadors of the countries he plans to visit. Roosevelt is quite certain that Borden could obtain such a letter, especially with the help of General Wood or Senator Lodge.
