President Roosevelt writes to his son Kermit to say he is glad to hear he is doing well. He says the whole village of Oyster Bay came out to say goodbye to the family as they headed back to Washington and then the axle of their car broke so they borrowed a carriage from Mrs. Weekes. They arrived in Washington to cheering crowds in an open carriage with some of the pets.
