John P. Grant knows Theodore Roosevelt appreciates large families, so he sends him an article and mentions he himself is one of thirteen children. He says his oldest brother J. A. Grant is involved in Canadian politics and is strongly conservative. John P. Grant will be sailing to Europe soon and would like to visit Roosevelt if possible.
