Manuscript about Theodore Roosevelt’s travels in Europe in 1910, submitted to The Reader’s Digest by his personal secretary, Frank Harper. The article describes how Harper came to work for Theodore Roosevelt, his first meeting with him at Sagamore Hill before his departure on his African safari in 1909, and meeting him again next in Rome a year later. Harper then details the controversy over whether Roosevelt would be able to meet the pope (which meeting Harper describes as being blocked by Cardinal Merry del Val), Roosevelt’s meeting with the King of Italy, his visit to Porto Maurizio to see his wife’s sister Emily Carow, his address at the Sorbonne in Paris (which was translated for him into French by Jules Jusserand), an offer from Count Zeppelin to visit Germany in one of his Zeppelins, the hospitality of the German Kaiser in Berlin, and Roosevelt’s service as the special ambassador representing the United States at the funeral of Edward VII.

President Roosevelt laments to his son Kermit Roosevelt that his elder son, Theodore Roosevelt, has been put on probation at Harvard College for cutting lectures. Roosevelt says that he cannot understand why Ted has been so silly, and can not treat him like his younger son Quentin, who has been distracted from his lessons by baseball. He thinks that Ted’s probation means he will not be able to come on a trip to Mississippi and worries about his life after college. Roosevelt feels that people are sure to have defeats in life where they are clearly outmatched, and so cannot understand why people needlessly defeat themselves.
