Theodore Roosevelt sends Edward North Buxton a note of introduction on behalf of Buxton’s daughter to the superintendent of Yellowstone National Park. Roosevelt discusses Queen Victoria’s Coronation and a Congressman’s wedding he and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt attended at the Old Friends Meeting House, Stuyvesant Square, New York. Roosevelt is content to be “out of active life,” maintaining the home, pursuing leisure activities, and working on the Outlook. Roosevelt writes that eldest son, Ted Roosevelt, is happily married and Roosevelt expects to be a grandfather within the month. Roosevelt wishes to see Alfred and Lady Pease as well as Frederick and Mrs. Selous.
