Theodore Roosevelt writes to his sister Anna Roosevelt updating her on the status of things in Washington. He dines out with colleagues nearly every evening and is working hard on his third volume of Winning of the West. He is having a disagreement with certain members of the cabinet over the Civil Service Law. He hopes there is no truth to rumors of abandoning Samoa and thinks Hawaii should be annexed.
