President Roosevelt thanks Caspar Whitney for the salve and the advice. Unfortunately he will not be able to participate in the Roosevelt night at the Canadian Camp Club. He does not want to celebrate the African safari before going, in case it brings bad luck or seems foolish after the fact.

President Roosevelt tells Caspar Whitney, editor of Outing Magazine, that his name should have been on the “roll of honor,” a mistake Roosevelt plans to rectify in his next volume of speeches and messages. Roosevelt also explains that his statements about naturalist William J. Long appeared in Everybody’s Magazine because the reporter feels as strongly about the material as Roosevelt himself. The president notes that other magazines are “old friends,” but Whitney has no idea of the requests he receives to write articles in magazines.
