Endicott Peabody invites Roosevelt to visit Groton for Thanksgiving. Peabody and his wife, Fannie, are planning to go to Boston with their children for Thanksgiving evening to spend time with older generations of the family. However, Peabody is confident that Roosevelt and his wife, Edith, will stay for a few days, and there will be time for Roosevelt to speak to the boys at Groton School. Roosevelt is welcome to join the boys on walks or lead class lectures. Peabody informs Roosevelt that Dr. Cowles will check on his son, Quentin, tomorrow. If necessary, Peabody can take Quentin to Boston for further medical treatment. Peabody also notes how much he has enjoyed having Roosevelt’s other son, Archie, at Groton.
