President Roosevelt enjoys the letters that his daughter Ethel wrote to both him and his wife Edith. Kermit Roosevelt is home and has been jumping with Roswell, and they saw Ted at the election. Roosevelt tells his daughter about a scramble walk he took in Rock Creek Park with the entire General Staff and War College. Some men did well, while others who were not in condition struggled. Sir Harry Johnston, from the British Government, has been staying with the Roosevelts.
