Senator Lodge thanks President Roosevelt for the approval of his speech, which gave him deep gratification. Lodge is pleased Roosevelt accepted the offer to write about his upcoming African safari from Scribner’s, even though it was less than other publications had offered. Lodge had lunch with Ambassador Henry White and was very impressed with him. In a postscript, Lodge mentions he had a long talk with British Prime Minister Arthur James Balfour and was interested that he felt the same about a recent donation of an American flag to a British museum by William Waldorf Astor.
