Theodore Roosevelt writes his son Kermit regarding transferring Kermit from the British army to the American army. He has been sending cables to the British Minister of War Lord Derby and General Peyton March. Roosevelt says how proud he is of all his sons and how he cannot wait for them to return. Tommy Hitchcock is still a German prisoner of war and slightly wounded and there have been many complimentary letters about Archie Roosevelt.
