After telling Kermit Roosevelt he can stay with Bishop William Lawrence at Harvard, President Roosevelt updates Kermit on family events. The president will be going to Pine Knot, Virginia, with Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt next weekend. Yesterday the president played tennis with Ted Roosevelt and one of his friends. Yesterday evening, Admiral Isamu Takeshita brought some Japanese naval officers who had been with Heihachirō Tōgō at Port Arthur. The president called them “a formidable looking set and evidently dead game fighters!”
