Theodore Roosevelt encourages Quentin Roosevelt to write more often to his family and fiance, Flora Whitney. He cautions that as an “infrequent correspondent,” Quentin could lose Flora. Quentin should write interesting letters and love letters at least three times per week under all circumstances. There should be enough letters to allow for half of them to be lost.
