Roosevelt outlines his plans for procuring supplies for his safari. He makes passing references to the situation in the Balkans, and his thoughts on women’s suffrage. He is amused by a cartoon and article that Reid sent, and shares his feelings about caricatures. The one by Thomas Nast as “an absolute outrage.”

President Roosevelt thanks Ambassador Reid for what he said to Robert Offley Ashburton Crewe-Milnes, and will accept the offer of the special shooting license for himself and his son Kermit. He is glad that Crewe-Milnes understands that he does not want a fuss in Nairobi when he first arrives. Roosevelt wants to go directly to Mombasa, and from there to Alfred E. Pease’s ranch. Roosevelt also states that Reid’s feeling about the complications in the Balkans was justified, and that what Reid heard about his answer to the women’s suffrage people is true. He is amused with the cartoon of himself and the article on Reid, and shares Reid’s feeling on caricatures.

Ambassador Reid has discussed President Roosevelt’s upcoming trip to Africa with Robert Offley Ashburton Crewe-Milnes, and reports that the issue regarding permits to enter game reserves has been resolved. The licenses will be taken care of. Crewe-Milnes assured Reid that Roosevelt’s needs will be taken care of, but that the British government understands that he does not want a fuss. Reid also discusses a number of domestic political issues in England, as well as the state of international affairs in Europe. He thinks that in spite of rumors in the British press about southwestern Europe, a war is unlikely. Reid encloses a caricature of Roosevelt that he thinks he will find amusing.

In an essay on politics and politicians, Theodore Roosevelt argues that politicians should not promise voters what they know to be impossible to achieve; they should only promise what they know can be achieved in the political system, and they should then strive to fulfill these realizable promises through practical politics. Roosevelt also asserts that compromise is often needed to secure the passage of legislation and that compromise should not be sneered at by politicians.

Three political cartoons depicting Roosevelt in 1884, 1889, and 1912 illustrate the essay.

Roger A. Fischer examines the emergence of Theodore Roosevelt as a subject for political cartoonists in the years 1883-1884. Fischer highlights Roosevelt’s battles with the Tammany Hall political machine in New York City and his role at the 1884 Republican National Convention. Fischer argues that Roosevelt received a lot of attention because he was from New York City where the major magazines of the time had their offices.

The article features seven cartoons depicting Roosevelt and others, and it also includes a listing of the officers of the Theodore Roosevelt Association along with the members of its executive committee.
