President Roosevelt commends his daughter Ethel Roosevelt on her letter to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, saying that it told them “just what we wanted to know.” He is glad that Archibald B. Roosevelt had a nice visit with William Emlen Roosevelt and Christine Griffin Kean Roosevelt. Roosevelt is glad to hear Ethel’s opinion about the changes made to Sagamore Hill, and looks forward to seeing them himself. Edith is feeling better, but Roosevelt’s ankle is not yet fully recovered.
