William Emlen Roosevelt is not surprised by what President Roosevelt said in his letter about appointing Hamilton Fish’s successor as Assistant Treasurer of the United States. Emlen encloses a slip from a news bureau that was handed to him by Mr. Porter. He does not think the current campaign is pleasant, as people are more interested in mudslinging than paying attention to the issues. Finally, Emlen tells his cousin about the good time he had at the “Silver Wedding” and updates him on various family travels.
