Letter noted as rewritten. President Roosevelt is sorry to hear that there is only a small chance of Evelyn Baring, Earl of Cromer, being able to travel to the United States. General Leonard Wood will find it hard to travel to Egypt as Roosevelt intends to employ him in Mindanao to take charge of the “Moro problem.” Wood’s route to the Philippines might be able to go through Egypt.
