Senator Lodge finds the incident of the statue in Brownfield, Texas, comedic. He is glad President Roosevelt is going to Oxford but admonishes him to also visit Germany, for “it would never do to omit the Kaiser.” Lodge believes Roosevelt’s visits around Europe will be valuable for the United States. As a favor, Lodge requests Roosevelt look into the situation concerning the purchase of the Windsor ships.
