Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Endicott Peabody

Subject(s): Brazil, Groton School, Politicians--Public opinion, Scheduling, Speeches, addresses, etc.

Theodore Roosevelt is proud that his sons have attended Groton School, and hopes his grandsons will also. However, he cannot make a speech at this time as he is out of touch with public opinion and doubts he can do any good. Roosevelt’s schedule is filled with “enormous correspondence and innumerable demands.” He is also gradually getting over the health impact of his Brazilian trip.
