President Roosevelt says Ethel’s letter to Mother told them all they wanted to know and he sympathizes with her about the 8:00 breakfast matter. He looks forward to the changes that were made at Sagamore Hill and adds that as fond as he is of the White House, there is no place like home. Mother is feeling pretty well and his ankle still bothers him so he cannot take any exercise.
