President Roosevelt was pleased to read in the papers that his son Ted Roosevelt got to play in a recent football game, although he read that he was hurt, and would like him to write to tell the family whether or not it was serious. He wishes that his son could visit his brother Kermit Roosevelt at Groton, and also reminds him that he can come and visit whenever he wants. He also warns him not to go to too many prize fights, because the newspapers have noticed.
