President Roosevelt sends Edward McKay a photograph of him in the Rough Riders, and says he will always think of him as “one of Uncle Sam’s little boys,” and remembers him playing with Roosevelt’s son, Quentin. Roosevelt tells McKay about all the sports and activities his sons Quentin and Archie are involved in, and describes a camping trip where two bold young foxes visited the party.
