Edward North Buxton congratulates President Roosevelt on his recent victory in United States presidential election, and says that while he is sure Roosevelt would have appreciated some rest, his victory will make “all thoughtful people […] rejoice.” He regrets he has not been able to accept Roosevelt’s invitation to visit the United States yet, but wonders if he might be able to make it to Roosevelt’s inauguration. Buxton would like to visit some National Parks as well in order to do some wildlife photography, but is unsure how accessible they will be in winter, and asks for Roosevelt’s advice on the matter. He briefly comments on the Dogger Bank incident, and on relations with Russia.
