George Otto Trevelyan briefly tells President Roosevelt of some recent hunting he has done, and hopes that Roosevelt is able to visit when he is in Great Britain. Trevelyan’s son, Charles Philips Trevelyan, has told him about a recent dinner in honor of Prime Minister H. H. Asquith, which Trevelyan then relates to Roosevelt. There is a great deal of tension between the House of Lords and the Liberal Party of Great Britain, which controlled the House of Commons, but Trevelyan believes that Asquith will help the Liberal Party advance their reform agenda.
