William Emlen Roosevelt is glad that Archibald B. Roosevelt is recovering and understands the anxiety President Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt suffer. He wants to visit Washington, D.C., to talk about his dispute with a treasury official and the Harriman incident. Christine Roosevelt is nervous about the idea of William staying where a person has diphtheria, so he may sleep at his in-laws to calm her. He visited Russell in the hospital. The superintendent of Roosevelt Hospital is dying. William hoped that spring was arriving, but a recent snow storm crushed his hopes of riding.
