Theodore Roosevelt states that he has always supported George Leavens Lilley because Roosevelt believed Lilley faced a “very corrupt gang”. Roosevelt is also amused by what Anna Roosevelt Cowles has told him about the Reids, and he is unsure how William H. Taft will handle the situation. He and Edith have also enjoyed William Sheffield Cowles’s visit.
