Upon hearing that President Roosevelt is thinking about taking an around the world trip following his presidency, Reverend Baker invites him to visit Ongole, India, where he is serving as a missionary. He believes it is a good place to get familiar with India and talks about the good flora and fauna to observe there. Baker concludes with a list of references for himself.
