Typed Letter Signed on White House letterhead, Washington, July 27, 1903, to Robert Roosevelt, describing. “Dear Uncle Rob, I need hardly tell you how much we all enjoyed our visit. The horses came back in good shape. You see, riding over we did the distance in a little less than five hours, between 2 AM and 7 AM – about 7 miles an hour. Coming back we would ride an hour, then walk, leading the horses for half an hour. We spent six hours and a half on the road. With love to all, Faithfully Yours, Theodore Roosevelt.”
