Theodore Roosevelt is looking forward to reading the book that J. A. Hartwell mentioned, as he is sure it will be interesting. He has already written to Matilda Bernard. Roosevelt mentions offhandedly that he has himself been writing a piece on concealing coloration recently. He wishes he was able to accompany Hartwell and his wife to see Roosevelt’s son, Ted, and his wife, Eleanor Butler Roosevelt.
