Theodore Roosevelt writes his mother from his honeymoon in Switzerland and describes the “spree” he and Alice had with Charley Alexander. They gave a dinner for some of Alice’s Boston friends and met some other Americans. The only useless purchase made the whole trip was a gondola pole he finally sent ahead of them to Liverpool.
