Ella Sears Bulloch asks President Roosevelt to give “a specially warm handshake” to Lieutenant T. E. Greenshields if he is presented to the President in the entourage of the Prince of Wales. Greenshields is the son of a close friend of Roosevelt’s uncles James Dunwoody Bulloch and Irvine S. Bulloch. Bulloch is following news of Roosevelt’s planned trip to Africa, and is “in admiration of Edith [Kermit Carow Roosevelt]’s unselfishness and courage” in agreeing to be left alone for a year. Bulloch is glad Roosevelt is keeping his word to not run for another term as president.
