Cecil Spring Rice was delighted with Theodore Roosevelt’s letter and pleased with his remarks about India. He will stop bothering Roosevelt about sleeping sickness, but reminds him to listen to the locals’ advice and take the simple and necessary precautions against the tsetse flies. It would be wise for him to be cautious as many things need to be done and Roosevelt is the only one that can do them. Spring Rice comments on European relations and the strength of force Germany and Austria have over Europe. He wonders what Roosevelt thinks of the American tariff bill and hopes he has a “glorious time” on his safari.
