Letter from Anna Roosevelt Cowles to Theodore Roosevelt
Anna Roosevelt Cowles wishes her brother, President Roosevelt, a happy birthday. Cowles wishes that she could see him for a “real talk.” She asks him if it would be possible for him to receive Joseph W. Alsop’s cousin, Mary Oliver Alsop Dabney Boreham, with Hubert D. Astley and his wife, Lady Sutton, when Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt can also be there. Astley is interested in birds. Cowles discusses the political situation in Connecticut, which is not very good. George L. Lilley was chosen in the caucus, but is having a hard time on the ticket, where he is challenged by A. Heaton Robertson. Alsop is struggling in the state senate race. She asks if Roosevelt can have William Loeb telephone her when he is sure about the result of the presidential vote.
