Darwin, Leonard, 1850-1943

President Roosevelt does not intend to make any set addresses in England apart from his Romanes Lecture. He says that if Leonard Darwin and the Royal Geographical Society wishes for him to make a few remarks when he attends he will, but he hopes they will be treated as informal and that they will not be reported upon. Roosevelt is looking forward to meeting the members of the society.

President Roosevelt is somewhat hesitant about Leonard Darwin referring to Roosevelt’s talk to the Royal Geographical Society as a “lecture.” Roosevelt would like it to be a more informal talk to the members and for it not to be published, as he does not have the time to prepare it for publication.

President Roosevelt tells Leonard Darwin that he will accept honorary membership into the Royal Geographical Society. However, he will do so on the condition that if he addresses the club, it can be about what he saw in Africa. He also notes that he may wish to do only an informal talk for members, rather than something for publication.
