Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Theodore Roosevelt

President Roosevelt tells his son, Theodore Roosevelt, about recent goings-on at the White House over the holidays. Many of the Roosevelt children have been attending a number of parties, which has affected their daily schedule. He describes a late-night party at the White House given by Kermit Roosevelt and Ethel Roosevelt that disturbed his and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s sleep, in which he had to personally intervene to make them go to bed. Roosevelt has been riding, and had the opportunity to test some rifles with Kermit that they will be bringing on their upcoming safari. He has recently been asked by Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, to give a lecture in Berlin when he is in Europe, but it is the last one that he plans to schedule.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Franklin Bell

President Roosevelt has spoken with the German ambassador, who has told him that Emperor William II will welcome General Leonard Wood to unofficially view the maneuvers, but only on the condition that he does not officially attend maneuvers in France or anywhere else. The value in attending such events comes from watching smaller units work, rather than big spectacles. Roosevelt suggests that General Bell mention this to Wood.

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Reid updates President Roosevelt on a number of personal, social, and official matters. In particular, Reid focuses on the fallout of a controversial interview given by Emperor William II of Germany to the British press. The interview has been suppressed in Germany and caused domestic issues for William, but may improve relations with the English. Reid discusses plans to reform the House of Lords, and a shooting outing he hosted where his son Ogden Mills Reid related stories about the presidential campaign in the United States. Reid also intends to give a dinner for Frantz Bille, the retiring Danish minister. Reid writes that everyone was on “pins and needles” waiting for information about foot and mouth disease.
