Theodore Roosevelt writes that he cannot wait until Kermit, Belle, and their new baby arrive in New York. He tells Kermit that Archie, Ted, and Quentin plan to go to the Plattsburg military training camp again this summer and he thinks Kermit should go too. Roosevelt fears that it will be difficult for Kermit to get a commission because he did not go last year. Roosevelt closes by describing his trip to the West Indies.
