Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Quentin Roosevelt

Subject(s): Creative writing, Easter, Holidays

Theodore Roosevelt thanks his son Quentin for sending him a copy of the Grotonian. He hopes that, unlike the rest of his family, Quentin Roosevelt will keep writing. Theodore hopes that over Easter the family can be together at Oyster Bay. He thought of visiting Groton School over Washington’s birthday but did not think he would be able to see Quentin then, so he has postponed his visit until the spring.
