Mary Elizabeth Wilson Sherwood writes to Governor Roosevelt about her attempt to see him when he was in Delhi, New York. She regrets that she arrived slightly too late to see and hear Roosevelt, and wishes that she had been able to invite Roosevelt to dinner and to see her son’s house. Sherwood provides brief descriptions of her sons, both excellent Republicans. She promises that next time they will arrive before all the politicians do.
