President Roosevelt updates his cousin William Emlen Roosevelt on Archibald B. Roosevelt’s health. He expresses his concern about the situation going on in the business world. He notes that Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt and Archibald will not be going on the trip down south. He asks William to give him notice when William decides to visit. He expresses relief that William warned Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. about business. He is disappointed that he did not see William’s son, George Emlen Roosevelt, at Harvard, but notes that he did not see much of his son, Theodore, either.
