Alford Warriner Cooley shares with Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt how much he enjoyed the clippings detailing Theodore Roosevelt’s testimony before the Senate investigative committee regarding the acquisition of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. He agrees entirely with Roosevelt’s ideas, especially those concerning governmental control of large corporations. However, the issue of restoring competition remains. Cooley and his wife, Susan Dexter Dalton Cooley, enjoyed seeing the “charming and delightful” Kermit Roosevelt. The doctor gave Cooley a clean bill of health, although he intends to rest for a few months before returning to work.
