Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt has received Kermit Roosevelt’s letter about visiting Sao Paolo, Brazil, and everyone was interested in reading about Kermit and Belle Roosevelt setting up their new home. The book about the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition has been sent to all members of the expedition through the Brazilian ambassador. Roosevelt describes the “delightful Xmas” at Sagamore Hill with all of his children, except Kermit, and three grandchildren. He reflects on the war and views Germany as “clearly ahead” and Austria growing stronger. Roosevelt admires German efficiency, which is greater than the efficiency of the Allies, and the Allies are infinitely more efficient than the United States. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are the “worst creatures” to lead the nation in foreign affairs. Roosevelt believes the United States should have countered the “unscrupulous” behavior of Germany and intervened on behalf of Belgium. He has signed a three year contract with Metropolitan Magazine to publish his social and political views.

Roosevelt has been working for Metropolitan Magazine and hopes to continue working until Quentin Roosevelt is ready to be “launched in the world.” The war and the Mexican situation are the most interesting matters in the United States but the Wilson administration refuses to make any military preparations.

Roosevelt wishes he could visit Colorado but thinks it is best if he stay at Sagamore Hill.
