Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit and Belle Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt tells his son Kermit and daughter-in-law Belle that he was declared not guilty in the libel suit brought against him by William Barnes.

Roosevelt tells Kermit to add dates to his letters and says he is enclosing some letters he wants Kermit to read. Roosevelt adds that if he were president, the country would be at war with Germany.
