President Roosevelt promises he will bring the subject that Alford Warriner Cooley raised in his letter to Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte’s attention. Roosevelt is pleased that Cooley is doing well, and says that he should not try to come to Washington, D.C., in March, as it is “the very worst month there is around here,” and he does not want Cooley to take any risks. He would like to see Cooley and his family, but expects that it will not be possible until he returns from his African safari.
