President Roosevelt was interested in the letters that Senator Bourne sent, and is proud of Anne Mills Archbold Saunderson’s hunting prowess. He recently received a letter from Colonel J. H. Patterson, with whom she has been hunting, and who wrote that “she was delightful in every way and is plucky enough to tackle a trust king.” This amused Roosevelt, as she is the daughter of John D. Archbold, who is involved with trusts.
