Alexander Lambert asks President Roosevelt if Lambert can help with the “annual little boy picnic.” Lambert will be unable to travel west because his father-in-law, Knight D. Cheney, is not doing well. Lambert and his family will take a small vacation to the woods, and he hopes to travel with Roosevelt down the Mississippi River, if Roosevelt still plans to go. Lambert notes that John Avery McIlhenny is visiting with his fiancee, Anita Stauffer, who is about to sail for Europe.
