Theodore Roosevelt shares with Quentin Roosevelt that he hopes Archibald “Archie” B. Roosevelt did not tell White that he could get him a Springfield rifle, as they are not sold to “outsiders.” He sent Quentin a copy of his speeches and expresses his pride in Quentin’s high academic standing. The automobile shows wear from working hard during the winter. Roosevelt looks forward to seeing Quentin in San Francisco, California.
