President Roosevelt talks about his favorite horse, and mentions Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s sickness, which leaves Ethel to read to Archie and Quentin. Granville Fortescue is at the White House as aide. Mrs. Wood is coming to dinner and there is quite a furor over General Wood’s confirmation. The situation in Panama is getting along alright.
