Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt is doing well on board the SS Vandyck, and Margaret Roosevelt has proven to be a successful traveling companion. Theodore Roosevelt is pleased with the “thoroughly good fellows” of the expedition. There are a number of unknowns regarding the expedition, but Roosevelt believes they “shall do something worth doing.” The voyage has been pleasant, and they are just passing the Antilles.
