Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Quentin Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt understands Quentin Roosevelt’s exasperation at losing his “truck job” but is glad that Quentin is flying again. It is the 32nd anniversary of Roosevelt’s engagement to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt and they are still in love. They have just returned from Princeton where most people had sound views on national politics. Roosevelt reviewed and addressed the undergraduate battalion and the men of the aviation training camp. He sat with Frances Folsom Cleveland, Grover Cleveland’s widow, at dinner and then delivered a speech to the students and townspeople. The senior and junior classes at colleges are “skeleton,” and Roosevelt is glad that Quentin was able to join the military when he did.
