Theodore Roosevelt writes to his sister Anna Roosevelt about recent happenings in Oyster Bay, New York. Roosevelt has been entertaining guests, including his brother Elliott and brother-in-law Douglas Robinson, and entered his ponies in the local races. Roosevelt is upset about an incident involving Alice and her canceled visit to Henderson House because sister Corinne’s mother-in-law did not have room for Alice’s nurse. He will be leaving to go West in a few days.
