Theodore Roosevelt writes his son Kermit to say he received his letters about the big fight and how proud he is of him. He says Archie Roosevelt is coming home because his wounds necessitate another operation and the British have loaned transport ships so more troops are coming to the front. Roosevelt says General Leonard Wood has been treated unjustly and Roosevelt will continue to preach for speeding up the war.
