Theodore Roosevelt writes his sister Anna Roosevelt that he spent the evening patrolling New York City to see what the policemen were up to. He enjoys his work despite the fact there is nothing academic about it and he does not get to see much of the children. Wife Edith’s sister Emily Tyler Carow’s visit has made a great difference in Edith.
