President Roosevelt heard about the blizzard from Peabody Endicott and is glad Kermit Roosevelt made “rather a narrow escape” from his adventure. He reports Children of the Night is a delightful read. Archibald and Quentin enjoy having James Fenimore Cooper’s The Pathfinder read to them. Of all his work, Roosevelt minds the dinners and banquets the most. Hopefully, he can go for a gallop in the recent snowfall.
