Theodore Roosevelt writes his sister Anna Roosevelt Cowles about his and Edith’s visit to Washington, D.C. No society in New York compares to his circle of friends in Washington. He has seen a lot of Representative Reed and criticizes a speech by Wolcott. He compliments Secretary of State Richard Olney and says Smalley has no idea how the people of the United States really feel. Senator Lodge made a good speech about the Venezuela matter.
