John St. Loe Strachey thanks President Roosevelt for sending him the two books, which he will read when he is able to. Strachey also congratulates Roosevelt on the nomination of Secretary of War William H. Taft to be the Republican candidate for President. The journalist Edward Dicey is not someone who has very much influence, or who Strachey thinks very highly of. Strachey hopes that Roosevelt might be able to visit England on his way to his African safari. He also thanks Roosevelt for letting him see the letter that Roosevelt wrote to Lincoln Steffens.
