Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alice Lee Roosevelt
Writing to his wife Alice from Joe Ferris' ranch in Dakota territory, Theodore Roosevelt reports he finally received Alice's letters and was so happy he could cry. He shall start home in a few days from "the pleasantest and most successful trip I have ever made." He is bringing home many trophies and is in great health. He describes a typical day and says after talking with the Ferris brothers and Bill Merrifield, he has decided to go into the cattle business.
