Archibald Roosevelt is resting at Oyster Bay, New York, and is anxious to leave college and get to work. He seems to be enjoying himself and is considering a career in business. Archibald will also be going on a hunt this year. The Roosevelts have become “enthusiasts in burning brush-heaps” after Theodore Roosevelt’s “labor among small trees.” Roosevelt is delighted that Kermit Roosevelt is working hard in South America and married to Belle Roosevelt. However, he hopes that Kermit can return to the United States after four years.
