Anna Roosevelt Cowles takes President Roosevelt’s correspondence for granted because he is so wonderful. Cowles hopes the portrait by Ellen Emmet Rand for which Roosevelt is sitting is a success and wants a black and white sketch from the sittings as well. Many ambassadors are visiting, led by Lloyd Carpenter Griscom and John Wallace Riddle. Cowles enjoyed Herbert Knox Smith’s description of Roosevelt’s trip down the Mississippi River. Cowles does not want to write more so as not to overburden Roosevelt, but he is always in her thoughts.
