President Roosevelt believes that if the speech in question is an example of what Ambassador Reid can do when he is not prepared, he should never prepare. He also confirms that he did go through a window in a boat crash, but the window was damaged and he was not. He asks Reid to continue writing to Edith whenever he can, as they both enjoy his letters.
