Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt hadn’t seen the poem before, but it is a “bully” one. He is concerned about fireworks in Washington, D.C. Roosevelt details the guests that will attend Quentin Roosevelt’s upcoming christening and promises to send a photograph of Ethel Roosevelt. He wishes Robert Harry Munro Ferguson could take part in their “Sunday scrambles.”
