Arthur Hamilton Lee is unsure how to address President Roosevelt after his term of office has ended, but feels they can discuss this following his return from Africa. Lee does not plan to write while Roosevelt is away other than by request. Lee explains that for Roosevelt’s visit to London in 1910, he has automobiles, stenographers and more waiting to serve Roosevelt. Lee hopes Roosevelt will visit his country homes, and spends the majority of the letter describing their looks and amenities. Finally, he encourages Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt and Ethel Derby Roosevelt to stay with himself and his wife, Ruth Moore Lee, if they come to England in advance of Roosevelt.
