Marcus Alonzo Hanna’s death was a tragedy. He had many “large and generous traits.” Near the end, Hanna sent Roosevelt a note that showed him at his best. Roosevelt recently had lunch with Buffalo Bill. Granville Fortescue is working to get sent to Korea in order to see the fighting of the Russo-Japanese War. Roosevelt agrees that a West Point education would be good for Ted Roosevelt, just like it would be good for anyone, but he believes that Ted has too much potential to enter the army.
