President Roosevelt is happy to hear that his son Kermit is running and rowing. Roosevelt hopes to finish dictating some speeches so he can take a vacation. He adds that the “labor people” insist on having a row with him, and he wrote a letter to the Charles Moyer-William Haywood Defense Fund. Roosevelt closes by saying how lucky he is to have Secretary of State Elihu Root and Secretary of War William H. Taft, and he believes Taft should be nominated next for president.
