Theodore Roosevelt is “divided between pride and anxiety” after hearing that Archibald Roosevelt was awarded the Croix de guerre and wounded by shrapnel. Roosevelt will not do anything with regard to the War Department until instructed by Archie. Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt led a toast in Archie’s honor after the news of his injury. Afterwards, she led everyone in breaking their glasses, saying, “That glass shall never be drunk out of again.”
