Thomas Barbour conveys his satisfaction upon reading Theodore Roosevelt’s “coloration-paper.” He is delayed in reading and remarking on the paper because he has been visiting his family’s park in the Adirondacks. Barbour has great pleasure in remembering time he spent at Oyster Bay. He hopes Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s fall is not serious.
