Theodore Roosevelt thinks his father, President Roosevelt, will likely find something to do after leaving the presidency. However, he believes that ex-presidents should be provided for in some way so that they are not forced to work, as many previous presidents have been penniless. Ted writes about some of his younger brothers, saying that Quentin is an “amusing small boy,” and that that he will be “some what hair-raising to watch when he gets to college.” Kermit has “behaved like a perfect trump” in his willingness to help Robert Harry Munro Ferguson and Isabella Ferguson. Ted is glad to be at work and not idling at clubs and sporting fields. While he enjoys taking time off to play games, he would rather work than be lazy all day. He recommends a new book, Wind in the Willows, to his father.
