Louisa Lee Schuyler writes an encouraging and admiring letter to President Roosevelt. She and her sister will set sail soon from Europe to return to the United States, after an absence of sixteen months. She recalls that at her last meeting with Roosevelt, he feared being “shelved” as Vice President and was considering studying for the bar. Schuyler describes the universal sympathy expressed by the British at the time of President McKinley’s assassination. She expresses anxiety about Roosevelt’s carriage accident and hopes to find him well when she returns.
