Give my love to your mother. Your father's friend, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. UNCLE REMUS AND WHITE HOUSE PETS (To Joel Chandler Harris) White House, June 9, 1902. MY DEAR MR. HARRIS: Your letter was a great relief to Kermit, who always becomes personally interested in his favorite author, and who has been much worried by your sickness. He would be more than delighted with a copy of "Daddy Jake." Alice has it already, but Kermit eagerly wishes it. Last night Mrs. Roosevelt and I were sitting out on the porch at the back of the White House, and were talking of you and wishing you could be sitting there with us. It is delightful at all times, but I think especially so after dark. The monument stands up distinct but not quite earthly in the night, and at this season the air is sweet with the jasmine and honeysuckle.
