President Roosevelt recounts for his son Archibald the mischief that Quentin has been getting into this week. First, Quentin has taken up a new interest in bees and brought a beehive to school before bringing it back to the garden. Second, Quentin was hit in the eye with a foul ball while keeping score for a baseball game and now “feels much much like a baseball hero.”
