Theodore Roosevelt writes to his sister Anna Roosevelt Cowles that he is glad Archie and Quentin were able to see “Sheffield,” referring to Cowles’s son William Sheffield Cowles, Jr. Roosevelt saw his brother-in law Douglas Robinson Thursday and they spoke about what Teddy Roosevelt had done, but Robinson asks they keep the conversation confidential. Roosevelt “cannot overestimate the beauty of the Canadian Rockies” from which he and wife Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt recently returned. Roosevelt is pleased with Will’s success running a Sunday school picnic which he compares to manning a battleship. Roosevelt asks if his sister has read “Ordeal by Battle” by Frederick Scott Oliver.
