Acting on the suggestion of his friend, Charles Lang Freer, Thomas Spencer Jerome contacts President Roosevelt about meeting again upon his return to America. Jerome would like to revisit their previous discussion “as to the nature of the human game in general.” However, he understands if Roosevelt does not have time to spare. If Roosevelt passes through Naples on his Africa trip, Jerome would gladly receive him at his villa.
