Theodore Roosevelt writes to his sister Anna about an issue regarding sister Corinne and her husband Douglas Robinson. One of the Robinson’s nurses became stricken with the measles so they sent her to Roosevelt’s house without informing him. They had to have the house fumigated and wife Edith was extremely upset. Roosevelt hired Winty Chanler’s pony for the summer.
