Louisa Lee Schuyler is sorry to not see Theodore Roosevelt at the current time, but invites him to stop by sometime during the summer or when Edith visits next week. Schuyler comments on New York state politics, and says that while she does not want women’s suffrage yet, she does not think that women would do a worse job voting than the men did in the previous election.
