President Roosevelt thanks Corinne Roosevelt Robinson for the French version of the Song of Roland and updates her on Christmas with his immediate family. All six of his children were able to attend the Christmas celebration and were delighted by their gifts. Kermit Roosevelt has been doing better in school and has even grown some. Roosevelt has heard his niece, Corinne Robinson, was the “most interesting and attractive girl that has come out this year.”
