President Roosevelt thanks William Emlen Roosevelt for the letter of congratulations. He has enjoyed seeing Emlen’s wife Christine Kean Roosevelt and their daughter Christine G. Roosevelt, and is taking “little Christine” for a “scramble down Rock Creek” with Ted Roosevelt. The president will not be able to come to New York in November, as he will be too busy preparing for his annual speech. He is cautiously optimistic about the upcoming election.
