Letter from William Loeb to Cora F. Cook

Subject(s): Etiquette, Letters, Presidents' spouses, Roosevelt, Edith Kermit Carow, 1861-1948, Tickets

William Loeb writes on behalf of Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt to apologize to Cora F. Cook for being unable to comply with her request. Roosevelt receives many such requests, and so to attempt to answer all of them would be impossible. Loeb mentions, however, that her inability to respond more favorably does not mean that she does not sympathize with the causes of many of the people who write.
