Robert Grant tells Theodore Roosevelt that he will be unable to visit Roosevelt at Oyster Bay as planned. The mother of a cousin who Grant’s wife, Amy Gordon Galt Grant, is fond of died recently, so the Grants are going to New York to be closer to her. Grant hopes to be invited again another time, and comments that he enjoyed Roosevelt’s recent visit to him.
