Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Sylvane M. Ferris

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Sylvane M. Ferris

Governor Roosevelt informs his former ranch foreman, Sylvane M. Ferris, he received the check and is satisfied with it. Roosevelt commends Ferris for dealing correctly with the ranch house and will have Douglas Robinson send the necessary documents. He asks that his saddle be sent to New York. Concerned for his horses’ welfare, Roosevelt wants Ferris and his brother, Joseph A. Ferris, to keep and use them instead of selling them. While he and the children are well, Roosevelt complains about his lack of exercise and expresses his desire to be out hunting.
