Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, unbeknownst to her husband Douglas Robinson, asks President Roosevelt if it would be possible for him to attend the dedication of a “little Memorial Library to Mr. & Mrs. Robinson” in Jordanville, NY (now the Jordanville Public Library). Many more trains are available to make the trip than before. She says it is Douglas Robinson’s dearest wish, but he will not ask Roosevelt himself as he feels Roosevelt is already too busy. She understands if Roosevelt is unable to attend.
