Theodore Roosevelt wishes Hall and Margaret Richardson Roosevelt a merry Christmas and is very proud of them. Roosevelt will be sending them a pamphlet he wrote on the world war and America’s duty. He is disgusted with the Wilson administration, especially because the general public seems to approve. Roosevelt concludes by summarizing the family’s Christmas plans and providing an update on family members.
