Assistant U.S. Attorney General Cooley happily received word from Solicitor General Henry Martyn Hoyt and President Roosevelt that he “was back in the world again.” Both Ward and Elihu Root have promised to assist him with navigating the incoming administration, and Cooley and his wife, Susan Dexter Dalton Cooley, are grateful for the support of their many friends. He finds the end of Roosevelt’s presidency bittersweet, and wishes that the entire “Tennis Cabinet” could keep their jobs. He is very sorry that Secretary of State Robert Bacon and Secretary of the Interior James Rudolf Garfield will likely “not be retained.”
