President Roosevelt responds to an amusing letter Senator Lodge had forwarded to him. Roosevelt plans to be down the river the coming weekend, and says he is not yet in shape for a ride. He inquires whether Lodge has been following the Intercalated Olympic Games in Athens, and remarks on the victory of an Irish-American from New York defeating an Englishman in the running broad jump.
