Theodore Roosevelt thanks his sister Anna Roosevelt for writing Chamberlain about Roosevelt staying at his place in New York City. His work is very hard and time consuming as he has “the most corrupt” police department on his hands. He has stopped working on the fourth volume of Winning of the West.
