y family has ever enjoyed the White House more than we have. I was thinking about it just this morning when Mother and I took breakfast on the portico and afterwards walked about the lovely grounds and looked at the stately historic old house. It is a wonderful privilege to have been here and to have been given the chance to do this work, and I should regard myself as having a small and mean mind if in the event of defeat I felt soured at not having had more instead of being thankful for having had so much. PICTURE LETTER White House, June 22, 1904. DARLING ETHEL, Here goes for the picture letter! Ethel administers necessary discipline to Archie and Quentin. Ethel gives sick Yagenka a bottle of medicine. Father playing tennis with Mr. Cooley. (Father's shape and spectacles are reproduced with photographic fidelity; also notice Mr. Cooley's smile.) Leo chases a squirrel which fortunately he can't catch. A nice policeman feeding a squirrel with bread; I fed two with bread this afternoon.
