President Roosevelt asks U.S. Marshal Merrifield to write to Laura d’Oremieulx Roosevelt to tell her what steps her son, Oliver Roosevelt, should take to get out to a ranch in the coming year to do some hunting. He advises Merrifield that Roosevelt, being sixteen years of age, is small for his age and is not used to working outdoors, but is a fine musician.
