Theodore Roosevelt does not think that one brother should serve under another, as accusations of favoritism are inevitable. He requests that Archibald B. Roosevelt write occasional letters to Robert Perkins. Grace Stackpole Lockwood Roosevelt is delighted to be pregnant and is leaning toward the name Dabney if the baby is a girl. Roosevelt delivers speeches occasionally and is having a difficult time fending off constant requests for patriotic speeches. He regrets that he was not allowed to raise troops and serve with them in France. Original and typewritten copy.
