I have sternly refused to allow mother to ride Wyoming, on the ground that I would not have her make a martyr of herself in the shape of riding a horse with a single foot gait, which she so openly detests. Accordingly, I have had some long and delightful rides with her, she on Yagenka and I on Bleistein, while Ethel and Kermit have begun to ride Wyoming. I HAVE STERNLY REFUSED TO ALLOW MOTHER TO RIDE WYOMING ON THE GROUND THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE HER MAKE A MARTYR OF HERSELF IN THE SHAPE OF RIDING A HORSE WITH A SINGLE FOOT GAIT WHICH SHE SO OPENLY DETESTS ACCORDINGLY I HAVE HAD SOME LONG AND DELIGHTFUL RIDES WITH HER SHE ON JAJNKA AND I ON BLYSTEIN WHILE ETHEL AND KERMIT HAVE BEGUN TO RIDE WYOMING
 Moody on the _Dolphin_. Ted had the younger ones very much on his mind, and when he got back said they had been altogether too much like a March Hare tea-party, as Archie, Nicholas and Oliver were not alive to the dignity of the occasion. TO TED ON A HUNTING TRIP Oyster Bay, Aug. 25, 1903. DEAR TED: We have thought of you a good deal, of course. I am glad you have my rifle with you--you scamp, does it still have "those associations" which you alleged as the reason why you would value it so much when in the near future I became unable longer to use it? I do not have very much hope of your getting a great deal of sport on this trip, and anything you do get in the way of furred or feathered game and fishing I shall count as so much extra thrown in; but I feel the trip will teach you a lot in the way of handling yourself in a wild country, as well as of managing horses and camp outfits--of dealing with frontiersmen, etc. It will therefore fit you to go on a regular camping trip next time.
