President Roosevelt has appointed Admiral George Converse and tells of taking Secretaries Morton and Moody out to Rock Creek for a strenuous walk that both men underestimated. Roosevelt is enamored with Washington, D.C., and with his wife Edith Roosevelt, who delights in an unusual variety of activities there.
