President Roosevelt tells his son Kermit he is happy with Kermit’s marks and is very interested in the books he is reading. Roosevelt wants to know if he would be interested in Flashlights in the Jungle, but adds in a postscript that Edith said Kermit would not enjoy it. He also talks of taking a scramble down Rock Creek with C. Grant La Farge, Douglas Robinson, Assistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon, and the French Ambassador.
