Theodore Roosevelt hopes that Martha Bulloch Roosevelt is feeling better and inquires what winter clothing he has in New York. He describes the men in the photograph for Corinne Roosevelt; they include G. Gorham Peters, Charles G. Washburn, and Charles Ware. Roosevelt’s horse is in “beautiful trim” if a bit shaggy looking. Roosevelt has been riding often to Chestnut Hill and visited Jamaica Plain with Christopher Minot Weld.
