Theodore Roosevelt hopes that Quentin Roosevelt can visit Sagamore Hill on his birthday. Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt is recovering from a bad cold. Roosevelt is feeling well and his voice improved while campaigning, including a strong speech at Cooper Union. He hopes that President Wilson is defeated and believes Republican victory could have been assured if Charles Evans Hughes had made a “straight-from-the-shoulder fighting campaign.”
