Theodore Roosevelt writes his son Kermit and daughter-in-law Belle to say Archie Roosevelt has returned home. He tells Kermit having to spend three months in school is a small price to pay for being able to join the American army so quickly and tells Belle to take care of herself. Roosevelt says he is still giving speeches about speeding up the war and having a total victory. He has also acted as a guide to some soldiers who visited from Camp Mills.
