President Roosevelt talks of riding horses with Dan Moore and Ted. Ted has a boil on his neck but is still teaching his Sunday school class. Roosevelt has also been boxing with Granville Fortescue. Ethel has been sick, but Alice, Archie, and Quentin are fine. Edith feels the strain of the social season and Roosevelt is driven nearly mad by the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives Joseph Gurney Cannon.
