President Roosevelt updates his son Kermit on the goings-on at the White House, and his plans for the coming days. He and Edith had been riding regularly until it snowed, thawed, and froze. He hopes to play tennis with General Leonard Wood, Assistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon, and Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield, although the court may be too muddy. He recently took a “scramble walk” in Rock Creek Park with Representative Nicholas Longworth, Postmaster General George von Lengerke Meyer, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Beekman Winthrop, and Ambassador Henry White. He had a dinner with African big game hunters, and wishes that Kermit could have met Sir Harry Johnston. His labor dinner is tomorrow night.
