Frances M. Wolcott’s son, Lyman Metcalfe Bass, is handling the passport applications for her and her maid, Mary McQuilken, in preparation for a possible trip to Russia. Wolcott wonders if President Roosevelt would also write her a letter of introduction. She is unfamiliar with Russia and wants to err on the side of caution. Wolcott met Judge William S. Andrews and his wife, Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews, at an enjoyable dinner attended by Roosevelt’s political supporters. Wolcott apprises Roosevelt of her travel plans for the next few days.
