Theodore Roosevelt received the telegram about Belle having bronchitis, but reassuring cables from Kermit and Doctor Rhoades determined that Edith would not travel to Belle. Roosevelt says they will remain uneasy until Kermit, Belle, and baby Kermit start for New York. In his postscript, he tells Kermit to read a certain chapter in his new book A Book-Lover’s Holidays in the Open.
