Theodore Roosevelt is heartened by the advice from General Tracey regarding William S. Cowles’s divorce. Tracey disagrees with the view of lawyer Cleveland and wonders if Tracey should meet with the lawyer. Roosevelt thanks Anna for the clippings she sent and says that despite all the opposition, he has managed to get the saloons closed on Sundays.
