Anna Roosevelt Cowles informs President Roosevelt of Ted’s excellent marksmanship and work with Troop A at Peekskill. Through Captain Herbert Barry, she is aware of an impertinent and critical letter Roosevelt received about Ted, so she wanted to assure him of Ted’s success. Cowles remarks how happy Mr. and Mrs. Colby were to be received by the Roosevelts and mentions a recent letter from Alice Roosevelt Longworth that was “perfectly absorbed in election news.”
