Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Endicott Peabody
President Roosevelt asks Endicott Peabody, rector of Groton School, if he would admit Archibald B. Roosevelt on the recommendation of Thomas W. Sidwell, rather than requiring him to take the normal Groton entrance exams. Peabody arranged for Kermit Roosevelt to be admitted this way, and although Roosevelt does not think Archie will do as well at Groton as his older brother, he still believes he “will succeed.”
