Theodore Roosevelt tells his son Kermit not to be upset over getting black-balled from the Harvard club Sphynx. Roosevelt says it was probably more about him than Kermit, because the fathers of Kermit’s classmates hate him. He adds the campaign is almost over and his voice is in poor shape but at least he will not have to do this type of thing ever again. Roosevelt says he will send Kermit the books.
