Theodore Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt were able to see Archie’s wife Grace Stackpole Lockwood Roosevelt and their son Archibald Roosevelt. He thinks that Archibald looks like his father. Grace is the “dearest girl imaginable” and the Lockwoods were very understanding about Grace and Archibald visiting Sagamore Hill in May. Josh Hartwell provided more detailed information about Archie’s injury, including that he had to remain in the trenches for fourteen hours after being wounded.
