Corinne Roosevelt Robinson was very upset that a letter from her brother, President Roosevelt, was sent to the wrong address and she has only just now received it. Robinson fears Roosevelt thinks she is unappreciative of his offer to attend the dedication of a memorial library by her husband, Douglas Robinson. Robinson thanks Roosevelt and assures him his visit will remain secret until the day before. She says her husband’s “eyes suffered” when she told him of Roosevelt’s upcoming visit, as it means so much to him.
