Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Quentin Roosevelt

At Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s suggestion, Theodore Roosevelt has traveled to Stamford, Connecticut, for two weeks of exercise. The camp is run by Jack Cooper, a former boxer, who is one of the professional athletes that keep one hand in the underworld and one in the wealthy sporting world. Roosevelt received a nice letter from General Duncan regarding Ted Roosevelt and Archie Roosevelt. War preparation continues slowly and Roosevelt is bitter that “ordinary foresight and patriotism” in the country’s leaders could have already ended the war.
