President Roosevelt requests his sister-in-law Emily Tyler Carow tell Mr. Bovet that while he sympathizes with the movement to preserve the Alps, as president, he cannot sign a petition that is essentially a request for action by another government. Roosevelt updates Carow on the family’s summer activities in Oyster Bay.
