Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

President Roosevelt heard about the blizzard from Peabody Endicott and is glad Kermit Roosevelt made “rather a narrow escape” from his adventure. He reports Children of the Night is a delightful read. Archibald and Quentin enjoy having James Fenimore Cooper’s The Pathfinder read to them. Of all his work, Roosevelt minds the dinners and banquets the most. Hopefully, he can go for a gallop in the recent snowfall.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles

Theodore Roosevelt describes the effect of an extraordinary snowfall to his sister Anna Roosevelt Cowles. He feels the odds are even that President William McKinley will offer him Assistant Secretary of the Navy and says he is indifferent because he is not sure he would take it. If he had proper power as Police Commissioner he would never leave but right now he is very hampered in his work.
