Dan T. Moore, Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s cousin, writes to President Roosevelt to wish him a merry Christmas and happy New Year, and to update him on recent events. Moore’s wife, Luvie Jones Butler Moore, has recently been ill, but has seen doctors in Germany and seems to be recovering now. Moore was pleased to hear that President-elect William H. Taft had won the election, although he regrets that Roosevelt did not run himself. Moore has been enjoying his time studying with the German army, and hopes to be able to extend his time abroad in order to attend an artillery shooting school. If it is convenient, he would like to receive a copy of Roosevelt’s message to Congress, and comments on several sections of it that he has already heard about, including sections addressing promotions in the military. Moore will be having his son, Dan T. Moore, Jr., baptized while they are in Geneva, and asks if Roosevelt would want to be the godfather.
