Anna Roosevelt Cowles encloses a letter from John Tilson, speaker of the Connecticut legislature, which outlines matters pertaining to the political situation in Connecticut, especially regarding Senator Frank S. Butterworth. Cowles believes President Roosevelt should ask another newspaper man if Tilson’s opinion is worth anything. She also informs Roosevelt that Viscountess Marion Bryce has given her letters from sisters Elinor Glyn and Lady Lucy Duff Gordon, who hope to be presented at an event. She asks how they can be presented with the least importance.
