President Roosevelt tells Dean Byron S. Hurlbut that his son, Theodore Roosevelt, is very pleased about receiving the honorary scholarship and finishing his courses in three years because Roosevelt had previously had to speak with him about reports he was not doing well. Roosevelt will gladly speak with Ferdinand V. Blair, but does not think he can be of much assistance, as he thinks that the diplomatic service is often a poor career choice. Robert Harry Munro Ferguson and Isabella Ferguson appreciated having Roosevelt’s son Kermit visit them recently.
