President Roosevelt tells Kermit Roosevelt he has been out horse-riding, despite the cold weather. He details a recent ride with Dan Moore, whose horse ran away, and it took time to find him. The family is well overall. Although, his cousin Granville “Roly” Fortescue acquired “a most gorgeous pair of black eyes” after boxing with Roosevelt. The Senate continues to frustrate Roosevelt.
