Winthrop Chanler writes a letter of condolence after the death of Quentin Roosevelt. Chanler fondly remembers meeting Quentin at the Issoudun airfield. He also recently saw “Archie” Roosevelt in Paris and heard that “Ted” Roosevelt had been hurt. Chanler regrets that it is the young who go to fight rather than the “old ones” like himself. Chanler sends his deepest sympathies to Roosevelt’s wife.
