Endicott Peabody, headmaster of Groton School, writes to President Roosevelt, regarding Kermit and Hall’s absence for Alice Roosevelt’s wedding. It is the school’s policy to not allow students to leave for cousins’ weddings as they are so frequent. However, because Hall was orphaned and very close to the Theodore Roosevelt family, Peabody believes it appropriate. Peabody also discusses cheating allegations of Harvard and Yale football teams.
