President Roosevelt is impressed that Winthrop Chanler is able to keep up with so much reading, and was surprised to learn of his interest in Irish sagas. Roosevelt would have liked to have helped Charles Carroll, a member of the Porcellian club, but Frederick, W. Whitridge has already chosen his secretaries. He wishes that Chanler could have been present at Alice Roosevelt Longworth’s wedding, and comments that by the end of it there was a meeting of all the Porcellian brothers who attended, with at least forty attendees. He is glad that Chanler’s family has been having a good time abroad, and comments that he would likely enjoy hunting in Meath, Ireland, but would need some time to get into condition. He hopes to see Chanler when he returns to the United States.
