President Roosevelt is glad he has been practicing “Japanese wrestling” but he will not try it again until he is less busy. He feels like a “stewed owl” in the afternoons after working all day, and describes his various injuries and bruises. Roosevelt hopes that Congress will only stay in session another two weeks as things have been going well and he does not want anything to go wrong. Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt is on her way to Groton School to see Ted and Kermit Roosevelt since they have mumps.
