Anna Roosevelt Cowles celebrates the election of William H. Taft, which was a triumph for President Roosevelt. She was amused to hear that Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and his wife want to stay in London. She discusses the electoral results in Connecticut, where George L. Lilley was elected governor. Walter L. Goodwin and John Q. Tilson also won their elections, while Joseph W. Alsop also did well. She hopes to hear more about the details of her brother’s African trip and heard from his son Ted by telephone when he assured her the he was “all perfectly right.”
