Theodore Roosevelt writes his son Kermit to say that if America enters the war against Germany, Seth Bullock will put Kermit in as captain and Ted and Archie will also become officers. Roosevelt says unless there is a change, he will not be able to support either of the political parties next year. He closes by describing his trip to the Panama-Pacific Exposition in California.
