Theodore Roosevelt and Alice Lee Roosevelt are having a splendid time in Liverpool, England. Irvine S. Bulloch, Roosevelt’s uncle, is the “jolliest, kindest host.” Roosevelt has been discussing naval history with his other uncle, “the blessed old sea-captain” James Dunwody Bulloch. He has convinced him to publish a work regarding “naval operations abroad” during the American Civil War. Bulloch was a Confederate agent in Great Britain and managed these operations. Roosevelt really enjoys speaking with his uncle, even though had Roosevelt been of age during the war he would have served the Union.
