Commissioner Garfield appreciates President Roosevelt’s inquiry into his health. Garfield is at loss to know how anyone got an idea that he is ill and reassures Roosevelt that everything is going smoothly. Garfield tells Roosevelt that if Lawrence O.

Garfield is having a family reunion in celebration of his brother’s engagement to Robert Bacon’s niece.
