Theodore Roosevelt believes that it will be a valuable experience for Quentin Roosevelt to help prepare the aviation camp, even though the work is unpleasant. He sends his regards to Cord Meyer and is sure that they will both get into the “regular flying game.” Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt have been on a trip, originally so he could meet with with people of the Kansas City Star.
