Anna Roosevelt Cowles tells her brother, President Roosevelt, about a recent visitor she had, who gratified Cowles by emphasizing Roosevelt’s integrity in a speech. She also tells a story about her son, William Sheffield Cowles, asking an endearing question about whether “all the ladies [will] vote for Aunt Edif.” Cowles plans to visit Washington, D.C. around election day, and will write to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt about it.
