President Roosevelt tells Franklin D. Roosevelt that his family was pleased to hear that the baby was strong and that Eleanor Roosevelt was doing well. He hopes that their good fortune will extend to all the children they may have together. They are glad Gracie Hall Roosevelt will be visiting for a week or two but are sad he won’t be able to stay with them for a whole month.
