Theodore Roosevelt thanks General Wood for his letter, letting him know that Edith Roosevelt is recovering. Roosevelt informs Wood that he will visit him at Governor’s Island, New York, after Roosevelt returns from Syracuse. Roosevelt shares Wood’s alarm and disgust over the situation. Roosevelt is pleased to hear his sons Archibald and Quentin Roosevelt will be attending the Plattsburg Camps, private military training encampments established in Plattsburg, New York, to prepare young, upper-class college graduates for officer positions in the United States Army.
