William Emlen Roosevelt wishes President Roosevelt a happy early birthday, and says that while he cannot present his birthday wishes in person, he has ‘representatives who will do so.” His wife, Christine Griffin Kean Roosevelt, is bringing an invitation from John H. Rhoades asking if Roosevelt and his wife, Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, would be able to attend the opening night of an upcoming art exhibition. While the art exhibition is not for charity, all profits above the expenses will go to help the New York Eye & Ear Infirmary.
