Theodore Roosevelt was “overjoyed and relieved” to hear of the birth of Corinne Douglas Robinson. He is currently hosting Lispenard Stewart and Doctor Taylor at his ranch. They are getting along well but are very sore from yesterday’s long ride. Roosevelt gave a Fourth of July speech in Dickinson to a “great crowd of cowboys and grangers.” He is reluctant to accept Mayor William Russell Grace’s offer and if he continues to make long stays in Dakota Territory he may entirely give up his eastern life.
