Theodore Roosevelt writes from his daughter’s home in Dark Harbor, Maine. He writes what a comfort it has been to him and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt to be surrounded by family and especially notes the bond between the grandchildren and Edith. Roosevelt mentions that Flora Whitney, Quentin Roosevelt’s fiancée, is with them and is particularly brave. He both dreads and cherishes the letters from Quentin that keep arriving in the mail.
