Douglas and Corinne Roosevelt Robinson will be in London during the coronation of Edward VII, King of Great Britain and would like to “see things as well as possible.” Robinson understands that Alice Roosevelt, Anna Roosevelt Cowles, and William S. Cowles will be attending in an official capacity. In this capacity, they will likely be responsible for invitations and Robinson believes that Corinne will be more comfortable if they do not have to go through Mrs. Cowles for invitations. He asks if President Roosevelt can intercede with Ambassador Choate so that they can “see as much as any lay lady and gentleman can see.”
