Arthur Hamilton Lee appreciates the friendly letters from President Roosevelt and asks that Roosevelt and his family leave ample time for their visit to England. It is unfortunate that Roosevelt will not be present for the deer-stalking. Lee is pleased Roosevelt will deliver the Romanes lecture at Oxford. The outcome of the election has seemed unclear from abroad, and Lee is glad to hear Roosevelt’s positive update on William H. Taft. Lee asks if Roosevelt will elaborate on statements from his letters about information that he wants to share in person. If the information could assist Lee in serving his country and there was no other way to discuss it, he would come to the United States, but he assures Roosevelt that a message could be transmitted safely through the embassy.
