President Roosevelt reports to his son Kermit Roosevelt that “life at Oyster Bay is as wonderful as it is pleasant.” He describes how the neighborhood entertained the officers of the Mayflower in a variety of ways. Archibald Roosevelt spends most of his time boating with his dog Skip. Roosevelt is again busy with work, which includes writing speeches and making arrangements for the Atlantic Fleet. He hopes Kermit is enjoying himself.
