Theodore Roosevelt writes from his desk at Sagamore Hill and relates that the wisteria is blooming on the vine that Edith Roosevelt planted for him. He thinks the country quite beautiful and is concerned about the potential for drought this year. Roosevelt hopes to confirm that Anna Roosevelt Cowles can travel by car to visit him in the next two months, and, if not, he and Edith will drive to see her. He shares his satisfaction that Henry L. Stimson will be Secretary of War.
