Theodore Roosevelt encloses an article entitled “Education in Science as a Preparation for Industrial Work” that he feels expresses his views and Quentin Roosevelt’s practices. Ethel Roosevelt Derby will be undergoing an appendectomy, and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt is recovering from a “tough worm.” Roosevelt is finishing a book that will be published next spring. Some of the chapters pertain to the trip they took, along with Archibald Roosevelt, to Arizona, and the book will be dedicated to Quentin and Archie. Roosevelt loves all of his grandchildren and is not concerned whether they are sons or daughters.
