Lowell tells Riis that they should rejoice over President Roosevelt. Lowell is very pleased with a recent order announced by Roosevelt. She points out she did not believe Roosevelt would allow certain unnamed things to continue and believes that a recent order will help hundreds of thousands of “tempted men.” Lowell encourages Riis not to go to St. Thomas’s and to stay to govern New York.
