William Emlen Roosevelt tells President Roosevelt that he agrees it would be unwise for the President to speak out on the strike matter and the “other questions at the present time.” The San Francisco disaster has pushed everything else out of mind for the past few days. Emlen Roosevelt was also in Oyster Bay and went over the land. He hopes Ted is all right, but has been unable to determine if he needed a second surgery.
