President Roosevelt is glad Alice Roosevelt Longworth is feeling better. He agrees that the political conditions in Ohio hurt the presidential campaign of Secretary of War William H. Taft. However, he believes Taft will likely still be nominated, but it will take careful action. As such, while he prefers Taft succeed him, Roosevelt will not openly declare his support. Besides Cleveland, the election results were good, and he enjoyed his hunting trip down the Mississippi.

President Roosevelt writes to his recently-married daughter Alice Longworth advising her that if she and her husband Congressman Nicholas Longworth plan to stop at Vienna, Austria, they should also stop in Budapest, Hungary, so that it does not appear they are showing preference to one side of the dual monarchy. Roosevelt also advises her to visit Cincinnatti when she returns, because it is important for the people of the city to feel that she takes an interest in her husband’s hometown. Roosevelt is glad to hear that the Longworth’s have been having a good time on their trip so far in London, and briefly shares his amusement at the distress Alice’s visit has caused to some people who had married titled Europeans who were not invited to their gatherings. Life at Sagamore Hill is going well.

President Roosevelt was relieved to receive a letter from Alice Roosevelt, who sounded in good spirits despite feeling “wretched.” The President was disappointed not to see the Harvard football game, but will be attending the match between Annapolis and West Point. He is riding the “long-tailed sheep,” as the horse Bleistein is still injured. Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt has had several successful parties, and President Roosevelt plays bear with his children almost every night, despite the fact that someone always gets hurt. Quentin Roosevelt cannot play because of his asthma, so President Roosevelt tells him stories and sings instead. Uncle Douglas, Aunt Corrine, and Aunt Bye have all been visiting.
