Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

President Roosevelt writes his son Kermit about events he has attended recently. With Congress adjourning in a week, his active work as president will be coming to an end. Roosevelt says that after the nominating convention nobody will pay attention to him anymore. Roosevelt feels bad about Archie losing a race and wants Kermit to get the most out of his one year at Harvard. He says he is pretty sure they will go to Africa but he wants Kermit to buckle down to work after they return.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

President Roosevelt reflects to his son Kermit on the events of the past week in Washington, D.C. He believes that the Conference of Governors on conservation will be the end of his “very active work” as President, as focus will turn to the nominee after the convention. Roosevelt hopes that Kermit will make the most of his year at Harvard before the African safari, and that after their return, he will dedicate himself to working hard and not become restless and unsatisfied.
