President Roosevelt updates his son Kermit Roosevelt on his older brother’s well being and visit home to the White House, sharing “that little bird was very, very glad indeed to get back in the nest.” Roosevelt agrees with Dean of Harvard College Bryon S. Hurlbut that his son Theodore Roosevelt, Ted, has been given undue negative attention from Boston District Attorney John B. Moran who merely wants “to make political capital for himself.” Roosevelt has been busy, but tells Kermit he has time to take a ride with his mother, Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt.
