Theodore Roosevelt says he is eager to meet his sister Anna Roosevelt Cowles’s husband William and thinks he should try for sea service. He and Edith are enjoying their first week in town, presumably New York City, and are making congenial friends. Roosevelt was amused to find at a recent dinner he was given precedence because he is Police Commissioner.
