Theodore Roosevelt informs his sister Anna Roosevelt that Tilden Selmes is in the hospital dying of liver cancer and he and Edith have visited Mrs. Selmes. It was wonderful to have sister Corinne and her husband Douglas Robinson visit. The Leiters were just married and a cable just arrived from Turin with the news that Edith’s mother Gertrude Tyler Carow died.
