Theodore Roosevelt writes his son Kermit to say he wrote General Peyton March to get orders for Kermit. He reports that Quentin Roosevelt shot down a German plane and Eleanor wants Belle to join her in Paris. He recounts a visit from his friends Chapman and Cherrie and a story about Cherrie’s sons enlisting. Roosevelt says he and Mother ride horses and row and he was a pallbearer at former New York Mayor John Mitchell’s funeral.
