PLAYMATE OF THE CHILDREN (To Mr. and Mrs. Emlen Roosevelt) White House, Jan. 4, 1905. I am really touched at the way in which your children as well as my own treat me as a friend and playmate. It has its comic side. PLAYMATE OF THE CHILDREN TO MISTER AND MISSUS EMMELINE ROOSEVELT WHITE HOUSE JANUARY FOURTH NINETEEN O FIVE I AM REALLY TOUCHED AT THE WAY IN WHICH YOUR CHILDREN AS WELL AS MY OWN TREAT ME AS A FRIEND AND PLAYMATE IT HAS ITS COMIC SIDE
ould have been in the daytime. Sometimes Mother and Ted went with me, and the gallops were delightful. To-day it has snowed heavily again, but the snow has been so soft that I did not like to go out, and besides I have been worked up to the limit. There has been skating and sleigh-riding all the week. The new black "Jack" dog is becoming very much at home and very fond of the family. With Archie and Quentin I have finished "The Last of the Mohicans," and have now begun "The Deerslayer." They are as cunning as ever, and this reading to them in the evening gives me a chance to see them that I would not otherwise have, although sometimes it is rather hard to get time. Mother looks very young and pretty. This afternoon she was most busy, taking the little boys to the theatre and then going to hear Ethel sing. Ted, very swell in his first tail coat, is going out to take supper at Secretary Morton's, whose pretty daughter is coming out to-night. In a very few days now we shall see you again.
