President Roosevelt tells his son Kermit about how his trip through the southern states has gone thus far. Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt and a cousin, John S. Elliott, accompanied Roosevelt as far as Atlanta, and had a lovely time. They also visited the childhood home of Roosevelt’s mother, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt. Roosevelt, now accompanied by John Campbell Greenway and John Avery McIlhenny, believes that the next part of the trip will be hard work going forward.
