Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Quentin Roosevelt

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Quentin Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt spent four days in Washington, D.C., with Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Representative Nicholas Longworth. Roosevelt was very busy meeting with politicians, journalists, and military officers. It was difficult for Edith as many of her old friends had grown old or died. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock visited and are very proud of their son, Tommy. Hitchcock had written his parents that he has been practicing shooting all the time, and Roosevelt asks if Quentin has been able to practice. Quentin’s recent letters have been interesting, and Roosevelt encourages Quentin to write regularly to his mother and to Flora Whitney.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Quentin Roosevelt

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Quentin Roosevelt

A “regular winter” is upon Sagamore Hill. Theodore Roosevelt exercises a little, speaks once or twice a week regarding the war, and writes for the Kansas City Star. He hopes he is doing a little good. The Republicans appear willing to accept Roosevelt’s leadership for the fall campaign to the extent of speeding up the war and only accepting the “peace of complete victory.” Alice Roosevelt Longworth is visiting and is “as amusing and interesting as ever.” Representative Longworth has delivered a strong speech on the military situation. Quentin should be pleased that he is overseas and not being delayed in some camp. Roosevelt wishes that President Wilson had been patriotic, just, and generous enough to accept Roosevelt’s service. However, the essential matter is that his sons have grasped the chance to “prove your truth.”
