Theodore Roosevelt loves Ethel Roosevelt Derby’s letters and is confident that she will be just as happy with Richard Derby as her parents have been together. He encloses a picture letter as requested but is worried that it will make Richard think he “has married an outpatient of bedlam’s daughter.” Roosevelt agrees that Richard can be reminiscent of Kermit Roosevelt. They are planning a trip to visit Kermit next winter.
