President Roosevelt writes to his recently-married daughter Alice Longworth advising her that if she and her husband Congressman Nicholas Longworth plan to stop at Vienna, Austria, they should also stop in Budapest, Hungary, so that it does not appear they are showing preference to one side of the dual monarchy. Roosevelt also advises her to visit Cincinnatti when she returns, because it is important for the people of the city to feel that she takes an interest in her husband’s hometown. Roosevelt is glad to hear that the Longworth’s have been having a good time on their trip so far in London, and briefly shares his amusement at the distress Alice’s visit has caused to some people who had married titled Europeans who were not invited to their gatherings. Life at Sagamore Hill is going well.
