Roosevelt then provides several book recommendations on the Turkish invasion of Europe. Finally, Roosevelt expresses his wish to see Ferguson’s wife and children at Christmas.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt
President Roosevelt informs his son Kermit Roosevelt that Groton rector Endicott Peabody has agreed to allow him and his cousin Hall Roosevelt to travel to Washington to attend Alice Roosevelt’s wedding. However, given their standing in their classes, they have to return to school on Sunday afternoon. Kermit’s aunt and uncle, Corinne and Douglas Robinson, visited the White House, where Douglas rode with Roosevelt, Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, Secretary of State Elihu Root, and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Roosevelt tells Kermit that he believes that Congress will pass most of the bills he wants, though not always in exactly the form he wants, and he laments the exhausting nature of dining during the social season.
