Theodore Roosevelt agrees with Arthur Hamilton Lee’s previous letter. Roosevelt guesses that Lee was pleased with how the reciprocity matter has been settled. Roosevelt compares the American and Canadian public opinion on reciprocity and discusses President William Howard Taft’s mishandling of foreign affairs. Roosevelt is interested in Lee’s opinion on the arbitration treaty. Roosevelt hopes that Lee will travel to the United States soon and wishes he was well enough to visit Lee at Scotch Lodges.
