President Roosevelt tells his son Ted about a visit he had recently from Endicott and Fannie Peabody that he greatly enjoyed. He took a rather sedate walk with Peabody, but plans to go on a more strenuous one with some other people soon. Roosevelt thinks that there will be a difficult struggle until the Republican National Convention in June, as financiers and congressmen who are opposed to Roosevelt’s progressive policies are working to nominate someone other than Secretary of War William H. Taft. Roosevelt is hopeful, but acknowledges that it may be a difficult contest.
