President Roosevelt tells Kermit Roosevelt that he has written to Robert Harry Munro Ferguson and encloses a program for a recent dinner. Roosevelt relates to his son news from home, including the stories he is currently reading to Archie and Quentin. He speaks of his impending Nobel Prize and informs Kermit that he must reject the corresponding cash reward as long as he is in office, although he regrets that he would not be able to use the money to benefit Kermit and his siblings.
