Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

Archibald Roosevelt is resting at Oyster Bay, New York, and is anxious to leave college and get to work. He seems to be enjoying himself and is considering a career in business. Archibald will also be going on a hunt this year. The Roosevelts have become “enthusiasts in burning brush-heaps” after Theodore Roosevelt’s “labor among small trees.” Roosevelt is delighted that Kermit Roosevelt is working hard in South America and married to Belle Roosevelt. However, he hopes that Kermit can return to the United States after four years.

Report from Henri Arthur Marie Barre Ponsignon to Stephen Jean-Marie Pichon

Report from Henri Arthur Marie Barre Ponsignon to Stephen Jean-Marie Pichon

The French chargé d’affaires to Panama, Henri Arthur Marie Barre Ponsignon, sends an excerpt of a report to Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphen Jean Marie Pichon about President Roosevelt’s recent visit to Panama. Roosevelt and heads of department left Ancón at seven in the morning to visit the Panama Canal work site in the rain and mud. Roosevelt, who spoke to many workers and asked questions, was able to fully appreciate the technical difficulties to be overcome. He made it clear to the new republic that he did not want any revolutions to hinder the work of the Canal, where over 7,000 Americans are currently employed.
