President Roosevelt updates his son, Kermit, on the delayed rubber-soled shoe order. Kermit should receive the shoes soon. Roosevelt is currently very busy. He enjoyed shooting the double-barreled 450 rifle, but disagrees with the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. He has given directions about the pipe tobacco, and reports that the pigskin library for the trip is “well under way.”
