 to the wedding of Teddy Douglas and Helen. It was a beautiful wedding in every way and I am very fond of both of them. Sunday we spent at Attorney-General Knox's at Valley Forge, and most unexpectedly I had to deliver a little address at the church in the afternoon, as they are trying to build a memorial to Washington. Think of the fact that in Washington's army that winter among the junior officers were Alexander Hamilton, Monroe and Marshall--a future President of the United States, the future Chief Justice who was to do such wonderful work for our Government, and the man of most brilliant mind--Hamilton--whom we have ever developed in this country. ON THE EVE OF NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT White House, June 21, 1904. DEAR KERMIT: We spent to-day at the Knoxes'. It is a beautiful farm--just such a one as you could run. Phil Knox, as capable and efficient as he is diminutive, amused Mother and me greatly by the silent way in which he did in first-rate way his full share of all the work.
