Theodore Roosevelt received boxing gloves from his father and has been sparring with his companions. He is getting along with his hosts, the Minkwitz family. However, they do not approve of Roosevelt’s scientific pursuits. His arsenic was confiscated and mice thrown out. Roosevelt responded by waving a mouse close to one of the ladies’ faces and provides an illustration of the scene. His German studies are going well and he can read and understand French.
