Earl Grey thanks President Roosevelt for sending his photographic portrait and is happy to hang it among his portraits of other American politicians. Grey also sends a facsimile of a chair owned by James Wolfe and gifted to George, Prince of Wales, and thanks Roosevelt for sending his sister, Alice Roosevelt Cowles, to Québec’s tercentenary celebration. In the postscript, Grey notes how he has been “haunted” by the illustrations of mountains that Roosevelt appended to his last message.
