Kermit Roosevelt discusses the recent weather and its effect on the rowing season. William Amory Gardner has asked whether President Roosevelt would like a copy of Gardner’s new book; and an instructor, Albert L. Cross, has requested a signed photograph of the President. Roosevelt comments on the new baby of a family friend, Robert Harry Munro Ferguson, and remarks that Ferguson’s daughter, Martha, is just like Ethel Roosevelt Derby at her age.
