Arthur James Sage tells President Roosevelt about the success of the Atlantic Fleet’s recent visit to Australia. Sage has built a new house, which he named Sagamore Hill without remembering that it was the name of Roosevelt’s house. He is also jealous of Roosevelt’s upcoming hunting trip to Africa, and invites him to visit him in Australia after his safari. In a handwritten postscript, Sage congratulates Roosevelt on William H. Taft’s election victory.
