President Roosevelt writes to his son, Kermit, that he and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt have been riding regularly and have had many visitors, including the Grant La Farges, Winty Chanlers, John Fox, Procter and William Dudley Foulke. He says Senator Hanna enjoys playing with the kitten and Ethel had a friend over. Roosevelt also complains about the pain in his arm and says that Kermit and Ted should go to Harvard.
