Theodore Roosevelt thanks Secretary of War Stimson for sending the fine speech by Judge Emile Henry Lacombe and encloses it with the letter. He asks that Stimson convey his compliments to Lacombe when he sees him and comments on how nice it was to see Stimson and his family yesterday. He encourages Stimson to take Mrs. Stimson on his trip to South America as he did with Mrs. Roosevelt on his trips to Panama and Elihu Root did with his wife when he went to South America.
