Letter from Kermit Roosevelt to Robert Harry Munro Ferguson
Kermit Roosevelt and his brothers are undergoing military training in Plattsburg, New York. Archibald B. Roosevelt and Ted Roosevelt have received commissions in the reserve corp and Quentin Roosevelt is doing well at the aviation camp. Richard Derby is a major in the Medical Reserve Corps, but has not gone to the front yet. Kermit hopes to be on the Mesopotamian front as he is familiar with that area. Belle Roosevelt is staying nearby and Kermit visits her when he can. Kim Roosevelt has been ill and may have German measles, which Kermit describes as very unpatriotic. They will join Belle’s family in Spain when Kermit goes to the front.
