Writing from Wilcoxes Farm, Theodore Roosevelt informs his sister Anna that he will be spending ten days at the farm before making a longer trip through Iowa and Minnesota. He tells his sister where to send his mail and that he and Elliott have been hunting. He finds the “farm people” “pretty rough.”
