Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Bulloch Gracie

Theodore Roosevelt and his friends set off large numbers of fireworks over the Fourth of July and they all have some burns. Corinne Roosevelt had an asthma attack but has recovered.

(Date on original letter appears to be July 7, though this transcription bears the date July 9, 1872.)

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Bulloch Gracie

Theodore Roosevelt received boxing gloves from his father and has been sparring with his companions. He is getting along with his hosts, the Minkwitz family. However, they do not approve of Roosevelt’s scientific pursuits. His arsenic was confiscated and mice thrown out. Roosevelt responded by waving a mouse close to one of the ladies’ faces and provides an illustration of the scene. His German studies are going well and he can read and understand French.
