Excerpt from a letter from Banner Shull, who was in Quentin Roosevelt’s motor squadron, to his mother. Shull says “we boys” would do anything for Quentin, because Quentin always thinks of his men before himself. An added note, which appears to be in Theodore Roosevelt’s handwriting, indicates that this was sent him by a woman who saw it in a local newspaper.
