George Cabot Lee to William Loeb
George Cabot Lee of Lee, Higginson & Company provides details and instructions pertaining to President Roosevelt’s banking arrangements for his Africa trip. Letters of credit with two London-based firms and their corresponding letters of indication being sent, both with this missive and by separate cover. A blank letter of credit is also enclosed, as a precaution in case Roosevelt requires more money than anticipated in Africa. Lee specifies which of these documents Roosevelt and his son, Kermit, must sign, return, and forward. In a postscript Lee notes that he can have Kermit come in to Boston from Cambridge to sign the necessary items if it is more convenient.
