Letter from Leonard Wood to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Cambon, Jules, 1845-1935, Picard, Alfred, 1844-1913, Wood, Leonard R., 1892-1931

General Wood has been invited to witness military maneuvers in France and Germany. Both invitations are personal, and Wood will attend with the same status in each country. Wood will not receive any remuneration for his presence other than his regular pay. Wood also plans to attend a day or two of training in England before he attends the Spanish Historical Congress in Zaragoza. Wood’s family is settling in to living in Switzerland and are hard at work learning French. In a postscript, Wood says the Americans nearby think the Republican ticket will win easily.
