President Roosevelt has read Mrs. Monson’s letter regarding her son, but Roosevelt does not believe he can help her. Moreover, he is not certain that a cattle ranch is the best place for an eastern boy with a penchant for alcohol. Roosevelt recommends that Anna Roosevelt Cowles ask William Emlen Roosevelt about Jack Roosevelt’s training experience on a cattle ranch.
