General Ian Hamilton has recently finished an inspection tour of Egypt and Sudan, and reports to Theodore Roosevelt about the continuing effect his speech has had there. Hamilton is about to begin an inspection tour of the West Indies, and while traveling hopes to be able to see the Panama Canal as a tourist. Hamilton asks if it would be possible for Roosevelt to write him a letter of introduction to someone knowledgeable about the area who would be able to give him good information about the canal. He will be briefly stopping in New York on the return trip to England, and hopes he will be lucky enough to see Roosevelt then.
