Theodore Roosevelt tells his sister Anna Roosevelt Cowles how touched he was by her letters and her new husband William Sheffield Cowles’s note. Sister Corinne also wrote and related the details of the wedding. Edith has written to Mrs. Olney on behalf of Anna to see if Anna can stay six or eight months more in London.
