Theodore Roosevelt was pleased to receive Ethel Roosevelt Derby’s letters and wants Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt to rest at Sagamore Hill for at least ten days before traveling to Syracuse, New York. Roosevelt is unsure of the outcome of the libel suit. The judge is very legalistic and Roosevelt finds his technical rulings incomprehensible. However, he believes that his case has been made “pretty clear.” The Wilkinsons are great hosts and admire the Derbys.
