Governor Roosevelt thanks Edward Sandford Martin for the book and the inscription with an extract from Martin’s son’s note about Ted. He tells him what Ted is doing at school and his “second small son’s” names for all his guinea pigs. He asks if Martin wrote the editorial on him in Harper’s Weekly because he thought it very good. Roosevelt says he has had a good time the last two years and does not expect “to go any further in politics.”
