Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt writes his son Kermit to discuss the honor list of animal kills from the Camp Fire Club and tell him he does not have to join the club unless he really wants to. He is glad Kermit ran in the 1,000 yard race and glad he has decided to stop training. Roosevelt says his trip to Chicago was a success but he is worked to the limit. He will be heading west soon to see Roosevelt Dam and the Grand Canyon, and perhaps to make some speeches in California.
