President Roosevelt informs Kermit Roosevelt about the unseasonal weather they have been experiencing in Washington. He updates Kermit on his physical activities, including riding and tennis, and the family bulldog Pete, who they might rehome due to his behavior. Roosevelt hopes to complete five speeches before his visit to the Jamestown Ter-centennial, when he can take a short break.
