Often by the time I get to five o'clock in the afternoon I will be feeling like a stewed owl, after an eight hours' grapple with Senators, Congressmen, etc.; then I find the wrestling a trifle too vehement for mere rest. OFTEN BY THE TIME I GET TO FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON I WILL BE FEELING LIKE A STEWED OWL AFTER AN EIGHT HOURS GRAPPLE WITH SENATORS CONGRESSMEN ET CETERA THEN I FIND THE WRESTLING A TRIFLE TOO VEHEMENT FOR MERE REST

Mother came back yesterday, having thoroughly enjoyed Parsifal. All the horses continue sick. JAPANESE WRESTLING White House, March 5, 1904. DEAR KERMIT: . . . . . I am wrestling with two Japanese wrestlers three times a week. I am not the age or the build one would think to be whirled lightly over an opponent's head and batted down on a mattress without damage. But they are so skilful that I have not been hurt at all. My throat is a little sore, because once when one of them had a strangle hold I also got hold of his windpipe and thought I could perhaps choke him off before he could choke me. However, he got ahead. White House, April 9, 1904. DEAR TED: I am very glad I have been doing this Japanese wrestling, but when I am through with it this time I am not at all sure I shall ever try it again while I am so busy with other work as I am now.
