Theodore Roosevelt writes to his son Kermit about his two books that will be published in the spring. He thinks Kermit will enjoy A Book-lover’s Holidays in the Open but does not think he needs to read Fear God, and Take your own Part because he is already very familiar with the material. Roosevelt says he is the only public man to stand against President Wilson, German-Americans, and pacifists. He goes on to criticize Wilson and mentions that the Republican Party will probably nominate Charles Evans Hughes to run against Wilson. Roosevelt also mentions a dinner he had recently and that he is helping Jack Coolidge get published.
