President Roosevelt is frustrated with Attorney General Moody for speaking to Anna Roosevelt Cowles after already addressing a particular situation with him. Roosevelt hopes that Moody and Secretary of the Navy Morton do not discuss it further on their own and he has written to each to explain this. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. will study with a tutor rather than go back to Groton so that he can enter Harvard next year.
