Assemblyman Roosevelt wishes he could be with his pregnant wife Alice when she gets ‘crampy.’ He dined with the Rathbones last night and went to the Governor’s reception. He does not anticipate much fun in the Legislature. Date on the letter states “Feb. 6th,” but the original cataloger suggests it was actually written on the 7th.
