Alfred E. Pease received Theodore Roosevelt’s letter and let his daughter Lavender Mary Pease read it. His children are now his primary source of happiness. He recently stayed with Edward Grey who recalled Roosevelt with affection. Pease is sending Roosevelt lots of reading material, including an article he wrote on firearm and ammunition testing. Depleted funds from caring for his family prevent him from traveling. He received a nice letter from Kermit Roosevelt.
