President Roosevelt encourages Kermit Roosevelt at the start of a new year at Groton School, confident that he will do well but reminds him that it is important to play football alongside his studies if he can. He updates his son on the activities of the Roosevelt family and reflects on the upcoming three and a half years as president, which he anticipates will not be easy.
