President Roosevelt writes to his son Kermit and says it was nice of Kermit to send flowers to the Higginson funeral. Roosevelt notes he received a pin from some Oklahoma ranchmen. Roosevelt favors a lock canal in Panama, but orders Kermit not to let anyone get a hold of the letter from chief engineer John Stevens to Isthmian Canal Commissioner Theodore Shonts on the subject. Roosevelt closes by saying wedding presents are arriving for Alice Roosevelt.
