Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Corinne Roosevelt Robinson

Subject(s): Roosevelt, Alice Lee, 1861-1884

Theodore Roosevelt and Alice Lee Roosevelt are enjoying their honeymoon. Roosevelt appreciated the Doree gallery but was “more amused than pleased” with the Aesthetes exhibits at the Grosvenor Gallery. Crossing the Irish and English Channels went well, and Alice was not even seasick. Getting a hat box through customs was difficult, but Roosevelt’s revolver and flask passed through easily.
