Subject(s): Dinners and dining, Letters, Owens, Thomas Lloyd, 1870-1925, Robinson, Corinne Roosevelt, 1861-1933, Scheduling

The Robinsons are hosting a large group on Friday so Douglas Robinson cannot accept President Roosevelt’s invitation unless there is a compelling reason for him to be present. Many people have contacted Robinson requesting help from Roosevelt, and Robinson generally turns them away. However, he encloses letters from T. Lloyd Owens and John Gill.
