Theodore Roosevelt asks that his sister Anna Roosevelt Cowles tell Mathilda Ridout Edgar that he cannot speak in Canada, as he is “not in sympathy with my own government.” He remembers Edgar’s distinguished father Thomas Gibbs Ridout. Archie Roosevelt and Quentin Roosevelt had a great time at Cowles’s house and are just starting on another trip.
