President Roosevelt tells his son, Theodore Roosevelt, about recent goings-on at the White House over the holidays. Many of the Roosevelt children have been attending a number of parties, which has affected their daily schedule. He describes a late-night party at the White House given by Kermit Roosevelt and Ethel Roosevelt that disturbed his and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s sleep, in which he had to personally intervene to make them go to bed. Roosevelt has been riding, and had the opportunity to test some rifles with Kermit that they will be bringing on their upcoming safari. He has recently been asked by Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, to give a lecture in Berlin when he is in Europe, but it is the last one that he plans to schedule.
