Corcoran Gallery of Art

President Roosevelt shares his doubts about his son, Ted Roosevelt, taking a job on New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes’s staff, and encourages Ted to speak to his boss, Robert P. Perkins, about it. Roosevelt believes that at best the position would be largely a symbolic one, and at worst would commit Ted to attending events that he does not wish to attend and gain him “a certain unenviable notoriety.” Roosevelt acknowledges he may be mistaken, and again encourages Ted to speak to Perkins. Roosevelt enjoyed having his son visit recently, and provides an update on his recent activities since Ted departed.
