President Roosevelt relays his concern for the Cooley family to Susan Dexter Dalton Cooley as her husband, Assistant Attorney General Alford Warriner Cooley, recovers from illness. Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte wrote him about Alford Warriner Cooley returning the check. He finds it a needless and irritating, yet endearing action. Roosevelt wants to help the Cooley family in any way, finding “it a very great privilege…to serve you,” as he greatly admires and respects them.
