Theodore Roosevelt tells Archie Roosevelt that he has read some of the letters written to Grace Stackpole Lockwood Roosevelt. He advises Archie not to say anything against his superior officers, since it could get back to them. He also suggests having some part of the letters to Gracie published. Roosevelt understands how hard trench warfare is and does not understand why Archie has not been promoted. He ends with news of the family.
