President Roosevelt writes to his son Kermit to say he is going to New Orleans, Louisiana, to please the people who feel they are cut off. Roosevelt was interested to hear that Kermit is playing the same position in football as Ted and is getting on better with the Rector. Roosevelt says he has been playing tennis with the French Ambassador. He closes by describing a walk with Edith and how much they enjoy the surroundings of the White House.
