Theodore Roosevelt writes his son Kermit and daughter-in-law Belle to say the artillery training would be good for Kermit. Uncle Douglas Robinson’s funeral was touching and Archie Roosevelt will have his knee operated on again. Ted Roosevelt has been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and Roosevelt is working on another book. Roosevelt says the letters people have been writing about Quentin Roosevelt are wonderful.
