President Roosevelt was pleased to hear from from his personal doctor Presley Marion Rixey, and was grateful for the information about California. He has been well taken care of by Dr. William C. Braisted and Dr. James C. Pryor. The Roosevelt children have gone to Oyster Bay, and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt will follow soon. Roosevelt himself is not sure when he will go because of delays in Congress.
