Douglas Robinson wishes President Roosevelt a happy New Year and tells him that he took Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. to his box to check the bonds. Robinson has heard that Edith Roosevelt is inviting them to visit next month. Robinson says that he and Roosevelt both have troubles, although Roosevelt’s are larger. Robinson’s problems are related to the receivership of the Third Avenue Railway company. Roger Foster will argue before the Supreme Court whether or not Judge Lacombe had the authority to name a receiver in the case. Robinson encloses a clipping of Lacombe’s statement on the matter.
