Clara Hay wrote to President Roosevelt that she would notify her husband, John Hay, of the President’s desire to speak with him when Hay arrived at their home. However, since Hay’s train generally runs late, he may not come to the White House in time to speak with the President before Roosevelt went out for dinner.
