Louisa Lee Schuyler laments the Senate’s lack of action regarding the arbitration treaties, and assures President Roosevelt that she does not blame him for the situation. She also hopes that Roosevelt knows he does not need to respond to her letters. Schuyler hopes that he will be in New York to see her and her sister before they sail for England. She encloses a photograph of her house in Redlands, California.
