Theodore Roosevelt writes of how pleased he and Edith are to have Grace Stackpole Lockwood Roosevelt visiting them. His grandson, Richard Derby Jr., was taken to the hospital. Roosevelt then asks Archie to tell the lieutenants he is reading Longfellow’s Saga of King Olaf. He tells of his battles at San Juan and ends with explaining that the current administration does not wish to have Roosevelt’s help.
