A letter from Banner Shull, who had served in the motor company commanded by Quentin Roosevelt, was printed in an Ohio newspaper and was very complimentary of Quentin’s leadership. The family is “proud as peacocks” of the various tributes Quentin has received. Grace Stackpole Lockwood Roosevelt, Ethel Roosevelt Derby, and the two Derby children are staying at Sagamore Hill. Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt is “not very strong” but is “just as pretty as possible.” On Saturday, Roosevelt attended a dinner for Ambassador Jusserand. He then spent the night at Corinne Roosevelt Robinson’s home and was able to see Senator Lodge and General Wood.
