President Roosevelt mentions guests who dined at the White House and Archie’s tenth birthday. He writes about how hard it is to keep his temper in public life with all the lies being told and the press trying to get pictures. Roosevelt adds that he had to spank Quentin and in a post script says that Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt is on her way to take care of Kermit, as they just learned he has the mumps.
