President Roosevelt writes to his son Kermit regarding Kermit inviting Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ferguson on the trip abroad. Roosevelt says it was not considerate of Kermit to invite them because it upsets Edith to think of another woman on the trip, which is the reason she did not invite anyone. The family is settling down after Alice Roosevelt Longworth’s wedding and making her room ready for Ethel.
