Theodore Roosevelt enjoyed Grace Stackpole Roosevelt’s letter and misses his grandson Archibald Roosevelt. All the letters from Europe indicate that his son Archibald Roosevelt will soon be returning home but no official information has been received. Archie’s last letter expressed affection for Richard Derby and Roosevelt is pleased that he can show this to Ethel Roosevelt Derby. Ted and Kermit Roosevelt both wrote that Archie has been in considerable pain.
