Theodore Roosevelt tells his sister Anna that this summer would not be a good time to visit the ranch. The following summer he expects to have the ranch sufficiently set up so that “girls could be really comfortable.” He shot some antelope and is going to devote more time in the coming weeks to writing his book, Thomas Hart Benton.
