Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to A. Howard Hopping

President Roosevelt thanks A. Howard Hopping for his courtesy and tells him the full story referred to by Hazard. Roosevelt, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, and Roosevelt’s orderly encountered a teenage girl on their horseback ride. Roosevelt did not think it proper that the girl was following three strange men alone close to dark, so he insisted that she take a different path from them.
