President Roosevelt tells his son, Kermit Roosevelt, about playing tennis, and while he enjoyed it he will keep to walking for the time being for exercise due to the cold weather. Roosevelt had delivered a speech on trusts and labor to Congress. With the election coming closer, the public are beginning to pay more attention to what the candidates are saying rather than himself, and Roosevelt relished one of his last opportunities to speak before Congress.
