Albert T. Sinclair thanks Theodore Roosevelt for answering his letter, and outlines the various scholars and professors he has already attempted to speak to about Celts and Celtic languages. Roosevelt’s letter satisfied what Sinclair has feared, namely that there is no one with the time and equipment necessary to do the work, and he pledges himself to do the best he can with it. Sinclair also comments on some boxers he met, and reminisces about his time in Ireland.
