SKIP IN THE WHITE HOUSE White House, May 14, 1905. DEAR KERMIT: That was a good mark in Latin, and I am pleased with your steady improvement in it. Skip is housebroken, but he is like a real little Indian. He can stand any amount of hard work if there is a bear or bobcat ahead, but now that he is in the White House he thinks he would much rather do nothing but sit about all day with his friends, and threatens to turn into a lapdog. GIP IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHITE HOUSE MAY FOURTEENTH NINETEEN O FIVE DEAR KERMIT THAT WAS A GOOD MARK IN LATIN AND I AM PLEASED WITH YOUR STEADY IMPROVEMENT IN IT SKIP IS HOUSE BROKEN BUT HE IS LIKE A REAL LITTLE INDIAN HE CAN STAND ANY AMOUNT OF HARD WORK IF THERE IS A BEAR OR BOBCAT AHEAD BUT NOW THAT HE IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE HE THINKS HE WOULD MUCH RATHER DO NOTHING BUT SIT ABOUT ALL DAY WITH HIS FRIENDS AND THREATENS TO TURN INTO A LAP DOG
 Matt and Murray. To-day I shall take cunning mother out for a ride. Skip accompanied me to Washington. He is not as yet entirely at home in the White House and rather clings to my companionship. I think he will soon be fond of Archie, who loves him dearly. Mother is kind to Skip, but she does not think he is an aristocrat as Jack is. He is a very cunning little dog all the same. Mother walked with me to church this morning and both the past evenings we have been able to go out into the garden and sit on the stone benches near the fountain. The country is too lovely for anything, everything being a deep, rich, fresh green. I had a great time in Chicago with the labor union men. They made what I regarded as a rather insolent demand upon me, and I gave them some perfectly straight talk about their duty and about the preservation of law and order. The trouble seems to be increasing there, and I may have to send Federal troops into the city--though I shall not do so unless it is necessary. K SMITH AND I BEATING MATT AND MURRAY TO DAY I SHALL TAKE CUNNING MOTHER OUT FOR A RIDE SKIP ACCOMPANIED ME TO WASHINGTON HE IS NOT AS YET ENTIRELY AT HOME IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND RATHER CLINGS TO MY COMPANIONSHIP I THINK HE WILL SOON BE FOND OF ARCHY WHO LOVES HIM DEARLY MOTHER IS KIND TO SKIP BUT SHE DOES NOT THINK HE IS AN ARISTOCRAT AS JACK IS HE IS A VERY CUNNING LITTLE DOG ALL THE SAME MOTHER WALKED WITH ME TO CHURCH THIS MORNING AND BOTH THE PAST EVENINGS WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO OUT INTO THE GARDEN AND SIT ON THE STONE BENCHES NEAR THE FOUNTAIN THE COUNTRY IS TOO LOVELY FOR ANYTHING EVERYTHING BEING A DEEP RICH FRESH GREEN I HAD A GREAT TIME IN CHICAGO WITH THE LABOR UNION MEN THEY MADE WHAT I REGARDED AS A RATHER INSOLENT DEMAND UPON ME AND I GAVE THEM SOME PERFECTLY STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT THEIR DUTY AND ABOUT THE PRESERVATION OF LAW AND ORDER THE TROUBLE SEEMS TO BE INCREASING THERE AND I MAY HAVE TO SEND FEDERAL TROOPS INTO THE CITY THOUGH I SHALL NOT DO SO UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY
