President Roosevelt is pleased that his sister Anna Roosevelt Cowles has joined the Grange. He was also interested in her letter, and sends his regards to Judge Marcus H. Holcomb. He is unsure what to do about Representative George L. Lilley, and is not sure he trusts him. Roosevelt wishes that he could be in Farmington, Connecticut, with his sister, as he is sure it is beautiful this spring. He also reflects on the end of the session of Congress.
