Although President Roosevelt is proud of his daughter Ethel, he tells her that he cannot help but feel nervous when he thinks of her taking risks. He updates her on the goings-on at the White House, including tennis with the French Ambassador J. J. Jusserand, a visit from Alice and Nicholas Longworth, and some of Quentin’s exploits.
