Letter from Beekman Winthrop to Theodore Roosevelt

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Winthrop and his wife Melza Riggs Wood Winthrop were distressed to hear of Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s horse-riding accident. They are glad to hear she is recovering. Winthrop is sure Theodore Roosevelt was anxious. He recalls the pleasant time spent in the “Tennis Cabinet,” although playing tennis, especially with Ambassador J. J. Jusserand, reminds him of the White House court.
