Vice President Roosevelt cannot give advice about the appointment of messengers to individual senators as they would not tolerate such advice from a vice president. Roosevelt will be alone at Oyster Bay, New York, but he would be pleased with a visit from Martha Macomb Flandrau Selmes and Isabella Selmes. He is unsure of the exact dates he will be home but will inform them as soon as possible.
