HEALEY VISITS SAGAMORE HUI

JASPER COUNTY COLONEL AND SAILOR VISITED THE ROOSEVELT HOME.

• Camp Mills, N. Y., Oct. 2. Dear Louis: > . Had a visit to Oyster Bay today and visited Sagamore Hill. The color nel was in the west but Mrs. Roosevelt received us most graciously and we talked with her for about 15 minutes in the home and she showed us a number of the trophies of her husband’s, and then we had the freedom of the hill, and from a little summer house we looked at the placid bay which at that particular point is shown in two parts, a neck of land jutting out into it. The colonel, by the way, is regarded at this particular time as the one r best bet for the Republican nomination for president, and the pepole here on the island are mighty strong for him, just as though they were not quite generally all over the land. He saw this war sooner than any living American and he has sent four sons into it, not one of them looking for an' easy job. One has paid the supreme price and Archie is now at home severely wounded. The leaf enclosed is from a small maple tree near the house. I had as guests for supper this evening George and his wife and Lieutenant and Mrs. James -E. Brenner, the latter was, as you know, f ormerly Florence Marshall. She is a little jewel and they have two babies, whose pictures I saw but did not get over to their home to see the babies. Let me know any word about Fred. My address will ba. Col. George H. Healey, 151st Inf., No. 828 A. P. 0. Excuse haste. Drop me a line when you can. Remember me to Clark and to friends. Sincerely, GEORGE.
