Kermit Roosevelt expresses his regret that he could not be at home to take part in the “grand fight” of the Progressive Party, but feels it is for the best that he has come to Brazil. He tells Theodore Roosevelt that he will be trying a hand “at all the difficult smaller branches” of the project, and may be put in charge of the construction work afterward. He tells Roosevelt about the other men he works with and a fight he got into with one man.
