Letter from William Emlen Roosevelt to Theodore Roosevelt

William Emlen Roosevelt has received President Roosevelt’s letter, and though he feels his counsel will not help much with either the Rate Bill or Coal Strike, he would be glad to be of any help. Roosevelt feels very strongly about the question of open shop in the matter of the Coal Strike, and that everyone must have the right of employment free of union dictation. He has also seen in the papers that Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt will be returning home, and that she should be back before Kermit Roosevelt returns to Groton. He also writes that perhaps after she and President Roosevelt have discussed the Smiths’ field, Roosevelt would like to see him about that matter. He also mentions that he and Jack are headed to the Suffolk Club over the weekend to do some fishing.
