Finley Peter Dunne thanks President Roosevelt for the invitation to visit him at the White House. He and his wife will be pleased to accept, but they do not yet feel like going to any large events. Dunne also congratulates Roosevelt on the size of his recent electoral victory. While Dunne has poked fun at Roosevelt through his character of “Mr. Dooley,” he was very happy to see Roosevelt’s success.
