Edith Roosevelt enjoyed seeing Louisa Lee Schuyler, and Theodore Roosevelt hopes to see Schuyler soon. Roosevelt also offers his views on the men who left the Republican Party last year. He fears that they have “started a movement for evil which will be hard to control,” making the political situation much more difficult. Roosevelt also writes that he is “rather a woman suffragist,” noting that little “evil” has been done in Idaho and Washington, but rather women’s suffrage has done some good.
