L. C. Sanford thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the letter, which was exactly what he wanted. Edward William Nelson unfortunately was not able to come along, due to illness, and Sanford worries that he “is pretty much used up.” He nevertheless went on the trip to Newfoundland alone, but spent much of his time fishing instead of trying to get into the interior as he had previously planned.
