Theodore Roosevelt writes his son Kermit after their return from their African hunting trip to say he is sending Kermit’s rifle to him in Paris and it has been very difficult getting everything from the shipping company they used to send materials home from Africa. Roosevelt is not looking forward to his trip through the country and speaking engagements but he wants to work until he is sixty if that is possible. He says Ethel Roosevelt is planning a Western trip and Archie Roosevelt has been helping him around Sagamore Hill.
