Ambassador Jusserand is glad to hear news about Theodore Roosevelt, and notes that he appears to be having a good time on safari. He jokes that Roosevelt should not spend too long there, because he will exhaust his hunting permits and the Smithsonian will run out of room for his specimens. He includes a cartoon from Clifford Kennedy Berryman depicting ladies wearing his trophies as a suggestion of what can be done with them.
