Governor Roosevelt writes his sister-in-law Emily Tyler Carow and encloses a small Rough Rider pin as a small birthday present. Edith is no longer frail and Ted is better than he was a year ago. Kermit is able to hold his own, Ethel is motherly, Archie mischievous, and Quentin is cuter everyday. The children enjoy the governor’s house and Edith enjoys being a governor’s wife.
