Theodore Roosevelt writes his son Kermit to tell him about Edith falling from the horse at Pine Knot and being knocked senseless for thirty-six hours. She did not have a concussion but is in great pain. Ethel Roosevelt had a number of friends over at the time and they had to make other arrangements for them. Roosevelt encloses letters from Frederick Selous and Alfred E. Pease. Kermit Roosevelt has taken notes on the envelope.
