Anna Roosevelt Cowles now realizes what Theodore Roosevelt went through and accomplished since returning from his Western trip. Her family has settled again in New England, and William Sheffield Cowles is enjoying 8th grade at a public school. She gets many letters about Roosevelt and sends one from a young woman with health issues who wrote a story about Indians in the Grand Canyon. Cowles reports that Joseph W. Alsop’s nomination was successful. She admonishes Roosevelt not to respond as she knows he is busy.
