he could wrap us up in a neatly pinned sheet with camphor balls inside. Good-bye, blessed fellow! "VALUABLEST" KIND OF RABBITS (To his sister, Mrs. W. S. Cowles) White House, Oct. 2, 1903. Tell Sheffield that Quentin is now going to the public school. As yet he has preserved an attitude of dignified reserve concerning his feelings on the subject. He has just been presented with two white rabbits, which he brought in while we were at lunch yesterday, explaining that they were "the valuablest kind with pink eyes." A PREACHING LETTER White House, Oct. 2, 1903. DEAR KERMIT: I was very glad to get your letter. Am glad you are playing football. I should be very sorry to see either you or Ted devoting most of your attention to athletics, and I haven't got any special ambition to see you shine overmuch in athletics at college, at least (if you go there), because I think it tends to take up too much time; but I do like to feel that you are manly and able to hold your own in rough, hardy sports.
