Leonard Wood tells President Roosevelt about a recent dinner of former Rough Riders that he was able to attend. All those who attended would like to have a farewell dinner for Roosevelt, to be hosted before he leaves for his African safari. Wood conveys the dual questions of whether Roosevelt would be able to attend, and when his schedule would permit such a dinner to occur so that preliminary invitations can be sent out.
