President Roosevelt writes Ambassador Reid about his plans to travel to Africa to hunt with his son Kermit Roosevelt at the conclusion of his presidency, but he says that he has no plans to visit Europe until after “the memory of my Presidency has faded.” Roosevelt criticizes the Congress and says that if the Republicans enjoy success in the fall 1908 elections it will be in spite of the present Congress.
