President Roosevelt is expecting a visit from John Morley. Roosevelt writes that he never plays bridge and since becoming president has rarely gone shooting. His horseback riding occupies only an hour or two in the afternoon, which allows Roosevelt plenty of time for conversation. There are many “big politicians” he hopes Morley can meet.
