Ernest A. Grunsfeld thanks President Roosevelt for the letter, and explains the delay in his reply by saying he did not wish to intrude upon Roosevelt during the holiday season. Grunsfeld is grateful to have Roosevelt’s permission to make some knitted garments for both Roosevelt and his son, Kermit Roosevelt, for their use during their African safari. He asks Roosevelt what style of garment would be best, and proposes coming to Washington to get Roosevelt’s measurements.
