Theodore Roosevelt writes to his son Kermit, concerned about Belle’s condition as he thought she was getting better. Roosevelt says he would come to them in Panama were it not for the Republican Convention in three weeks’ time. He also says he is sending Kermit another copy of his new book A Book-Lover’s Holidays in the Open. Roosevelt criticizes President Wilson and worries about Wilson’s actions should the country drift into war with Mexico.
