Clara Louise Stone Hay writes to President Roosevelt that her husband, Secretary of State Hay, is not well. Her husband’s doctor in Paris has advised that though his heart is no longer dilated, it is still weak. The doctor recommends that Hay needs to rest in a quiet place without the excitement and troubles of political life and receive no visitors but family. Roosevelt has offered Hay the whole summer off, and the Hays will take advantage of it.
