President Roosevelt tells his cousin Emlen Roosevelt that he wrote to him what he did to try to head off possible accusations that he was “acting for a go-between for a company in which my cousin was interested and the War Department.” He tells Roosevelt that he is working on the post office matter that Dr. McLane is concerned with, but wishes that McLane would contact Congressman Hill himself. Roosevelt wishes he could hear about Roosevelt’s sons, and comments on how his own family is doing.
