Theodore Roosevelt returns a letter to William Sturgis Bigelow that was shown to Dr. Abbott for his private information. Roosevelt hears that abroad the American volunteer service is not popular, though he understands that if the U.S. was struggling it would not want French, English, and Belgians fixing it, but would rather do it themselves. Ethel is in fine shape.
