Theodore Roosevelt replies to Anna Roosevelt Cowles about Elisha Ely Garrison, a good man who was in his regiment. Garrison wrote to Roosevelt recently because he is interested in financial legislation and hoped Roosevelt would discuss it with him. Roosevelt says that Garrison is a real friend and a Yale man; Roosevelt always listens to him when he visits and sends him a follow-up letter of acknowledgement when he sends a manuscript or pamphlet. Roosevelt shares that he and Edith Roosevelt laughed when they read Cowles’ account of the Frederika Bremer celebration and about William Sheffield Cowles Jr. playing football to work off the extra treats at Christmas.
