Theodore Roosevelt writes to Anna Roosevelt Cowles after her recent visit. He believes Franklin Delano Roosevelt should go into politics and should not be concerned with whether Theodore Roosevelt delivers any speeches in his county. Roosevelt plans to visit his sister and her husband in the spring and wants to go where he can hear the bob-o-links sing, because there are no such birds in his neighborhood. His work and correspondence is more than he can handle; Roosevelt makes the point that he is still faces the same demands as he did when he was President, but without any method of protecting himself.
