Douglas Robinson regrets asking if there was a position available for William. R. Blair. Robinson generally avoids politics. He regrets he cannot accept Roosevelt’s offer to stop by Sagamore as their schedules conflict. Monroe and Stewart have returned from their trip to Merrifield’s ranch. They enjoyed playing cowboys and had a successful hunting trip. They are off to Harvard tomorrow.
