President Roosevelt tells his sister, Anna Roosevelt Cowles, that he will write to her husband, William S. Cowles to see if he would be willing to come up for a day to join them at the naval review. He is looking forward to having Cowles and her son, William Sheffield Cowles, visit them soon. They recently were visited by Nicholas and Alice Roosevelt Longworth, and had a pleasant time. Roosevelt was very interested about what Cowles wrote about Joseph W. Alsop and his friend, and would like to see them sometime next winter, because he is scheduled to give an address in the spring that touches on some of the topics they work on.
