Since Debbie, Rebecca and Erica read The Case of the Rough Rider, I've revised it. So you three don't know everything as you suppose you do. I changed it from 3 to 2 mistakes. One of them was the same and I added a new one. Below is the solution.
You all get your wish, a short post.

Solution to The Case of The Rough Rider
Wilford’s two mistakes were:
1.) San Juan Hill and Kettle Hill are really in Cuba not Mexico as indicated in the letter.
2.) Even though it carries the same effect, Theodore Roosevelt’s actual quote is, “Speak softy and carry a big stick.”
When faced with this proof, Wilford admitted that he didn’t have a great uncle much less one who knew Teddy Roosevelt. He had written the letter himself, but hadn’t bothered to do his homework on President Roosevelt.

Oh, I'm such a dummy. Didn't think long enough, just cheated and looked at the answers. It's bad to be put in the same category as Wilford--didn't do my homework on Teddy Rosevelt. Oh fiddles, I'm too hung up on Ancient Egypt...
