Theodore Roosevelt describes the family’s activities since they moved back to Sagamore Hill. Kermit turns somersaults in overalls, Ted is riding the pony Grant, and Roosevelt has been teaching them both to shoot. The scenery is beautiful but Roosevelt’s work as Police Commissioner has been wearing and harassing.
