Subject(s): Fathers and sons, Letters, Martin, George Whitney, 1887-1959, Roosevelt, Kermit, 1889-1943, Writing--Evaluation

Theodore Roosevelt agrees with writer Edward Sandford Martin’s letter and says how much George Martin’s letters touched him and Mrs. Roosevelt. It is the same kind of attitude Kermit Roosevelt had and must make Martin very proud of his son George. Roosevelt enjoyed Martin’s editorial on “the Broker Type.”
