President Roosevelt writes to his son, Kermit Roosevelt, about life at the White House. With the coming of spring, birds and flowers are returning, and Roosevelt and his wife, Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, are able to go riding in the afternoon. The social season is over, which Roosevelt is grateful for, as it allows him to have free time when he is not working. He anticipates some struggles with Speaker of the House Joseph Gurney Cannon over matters in Congress.
