Ambassador Reid advises Theodore Roosevelt to look for a tract by George Grey, the brother of British Foreign Secretary Edward Grey, with advise on how to avoid malaria in Africa. Reid also insists that both Edith and Roosevelt stay at his house when they are in England following his trip. He provides additional advise on where Roosevelt should stay during his trip through England. Reid has opted not to send Roosevelt clippings about his leaving office because he believes he is already inundated with them.
