Theodore Roosevelt is greatly concerned about William Sheffield Cowles Jr.’s health and for Anna Roosevelt Cowles given the anxiety she has over her son’s recovery. Roosevelt and his wife, Edith, will meet Anna in New York as soon as she is able to travel there. Roosevelt offers to have his great-nephew “little Joe” Alsop for a visit, and he is eager to show him books about exotic wildlife.
