Edith Roosevelt cross-stitched the linens at Sagamore Hill with the letters "R of S," which stood for Roosevelts of Sagamore. Several other Roosevelt families lived in Oyster Bay and Edith found that when they sent out the laundry to be cleaned, theirs linens often got mixed up with other Roosevelt family linens.
