Theodore Roosevelt writes to his son Kermit to say that he and Edith are about to leave on their trip to the West Indies, and he has sent Kermit a copy of his new book Fear God, Take your own Part. Roosevelt says the essays in it are the reason President Wilson finally began to speak out against Germany and for war preparedness. He also gives an update on Quentin.
