Theodore Roosevelt writes about his desire to go to San Francisco by way of the Canadian Pacific Railway, but expects he cannot do so without stopping to make speeches all along the way, as he has already received numerous invitations. Roosevelt feels he must not speak in Canada because his critical views on the U.S. position on avoiding World War I would be unfavorable against his home country. He also references the labor union disputes in England.

William Sturgis Bigelow sends to President Roosevelt six jiu jitsu jackets that he purchased in Tokyo. Bigelow expresses relief at being settled in a new home, especially since the Lodge brothers have taken care of moving the furniture while he was away. He invites Roosevelt to visit when he is next in town and paints a vivid picture of the Boston sights visible from his bathroom window. In a postscript, Bigelow notes that a verdict by Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis has “waked things up,” and in another, he remarks that the Lodges are doing well and that Anna Lodge’s health has improved.
