Corinne Roosevelt has arrived to stay with them for the summer. Theodore Roosevelt accompanied the Minkwitz family to a castle and a service at the German Reformed Church. His language studies are going well and the children have started a club that meets once a week. The boxing gloves are a “great amusement” and Roosevelt relates his “best round yet.” Elliott Roosevelt is the best boxer but Theodore would win “rewards” for bloody noses.
