President Roosevelt thought the letter Fitzhugh Lee sent to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt was very interesting. He is pleased that the French officers are accepting Lee, and believes it is because of Lee’s willingness to work hard and do his duty. Roosevelt comments on a recent hike in Rock Creek Park he took with a number of Generals, and sends Lee some amusing pictures that were drawn afterwards of it. The Roosevelt family had a pleasant Christmas.
