Theodore Roosevelt enjoyed having Anna Roosevelt Cowles visit. Roosevelt considers Franklin D. Roosevelt “a fine fellow” but wishes he had Joseph W. Alsop’s political views. When he visits Farmington, Connecticut, in the spring, he expects William Sheffield Cowles to show him the bobolinks. Roosevelt cannot attend to all of his work, finds his correspondence “an intolerable burden,” and dreads his trip west, especially as his throat is bothering him.
