Anna Roosevelt Cowles writes to President Roosevelt about two appeals that have been sent to her recently. Sallie Pickman Loring Dwight is concerned that her husband may be assigned to a German consulate rather than Vevey, Switzerland, as they had expected. General Henry Clark Corbin’s wife, Edythe, is distressed that Corbin may not be appointed to succeed General Adna Romanza Chaffee as Chief of Staff of the United States Army. Cowles also discusses other political and family news.
