Theodore Roosevelt was interested in the story of the burglar and the Roosevelt family agrees that Edith Kermit Carow’s mother has more courage than any other lady. Roosevelt visited Richmond and then went to Hastings, which is on the coast, with his father after his asthma acted up. In Hastings they saw a castle, visited a waterfall, purchased some strawberries, and played croquet.
