Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Wingate Sewall

President Roosevelt thanks William Wingate Sewall for the letter, and is looking forward to visiting him in Maine sometime. Roosevelt hopes that his wife, Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, will be better soon once the strain of being in the presidency has passed. Roosevelt says that personally, he has greatly enjoyed his time as president, and if he had listened only to his own wishes, he would be delighted to stay president. Because Roosevelt gave his word, however, he believes he must keep it. He also mentions that while he believes in a strong presidency, he also believes it is not good for one person to hold the office for too long.
