President Roosevelt tells Douglas Robinson that he feels that Robert Harry Munro Ferguson should be paid something for his service as trustee. Roosevelt would be pleased to have Robinson’s son, Theodore Douglas Robinson, take over the trusteeship. He would also be glad to have any financial matters that arise while he is abroad taken care of by Lee, Higginson and Company. Roosevelt’s son, Theodore Roosevelt, enjoyed seeing Douglas Robinson and his family recently. However, Roosevelt was alarmed to hear about Corinne Roosevelt Robinson’s asthma.
