Theodore Roosevelt thanks Kermit Roosevelt and his wife Belle for their letters. Roosevelt says the doctor is looking at Quentin’s back after he dislocated two ribs on the Arizona trip last year. Archie and Quentin are eager for military camp in the summer, and Roosevelt plans to take Edith across the Canadian Pacific to the Exposition. Roosevelt says he is even more discontented with President Wilson’s administration and its response to the sinking of an American ship by the German ship Prinz Eitel Frederick. He closes by saying he is sending Edward White’s new book.
