Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Quentin Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt encourages Quentin Roosevelt to stick with the “uncongenial work” even though he would rather be flying. If Quentin truly decides that he is being mistreated, Roosevelt can try and help as long as he knows exactly what Quentin wants. Roosevelt visited the Mineola aviation ground and was taken up on a plane with a new engine design. He thought it was better but is unsure how it compares to planes at the front. Richard Derby is at Yaphank, New York, where the new draftees are arriving. Roosevelt is sending a copy of his new book. A copy was also sent to Flora Whitney.
