Anna Roosevelt Cowles asks President Roosevelt to read the enclosed letter from Frances E. Monson, and to have William Loeb write her if he knows of a place that can help her son. She recently visited New York, where she visited Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt, who have moved into their new home and are expecting their third child. She also saw Mr. Mills, who is frail but fondly remembers Edith. She has seen her nephew Ted, and will see him again on Sunday, and expects to see Alice Roosevelt Longworth today.
