Arthur Hamilton Lee writes to President Theodore Roosevelt taking him up on his promise to write a letter representing his views that Lee can bring to give to the British government, and especially, his opposition. Lee cannot recommend a form for the letter beyond what the two sketched out during their horse ride Friday, but lists for Roosevelt the points he sees as being most valuable.
