Canada--Canadian Rockies

Representative Fassett asks Secretary of War Taft how long he will be in Oyster Bay, and if they could meet in person soon. Recently Fassett heard a rumor about himself in Buffalo, that he was in support of Governor Charles Evans Hughes. Fassett only supported Hughes against Frank Wayland Higgins and Benjamin Barker Odell. Before appointments are made for collector of internal revenue or district federal marshal, Fassett would like a meeting with President Roosevelt. At present, Fassett has not yet spoken with Senator Frederick C. Stevens, though he has seen Senator William J. Tulley who is undecided.

Theodore Roosevelt writes to his sister Anna Roosevelt Cowles that he is glad Archie and Quentin were able to see “Sheffield,” referring to Cowles’s son William Sheffield Cowles, Jr. Roosevelt saw his brother-in law Douglas Robinson Thursday and they spoke about what Teddy Roosevelt had done, but Robinson asks they keep the conversation confidential. Roosevelt “cannot overestimate the beauty of the Canadian Rockies” from which he and wife Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt recently returned. Roosevelt is pleased with Will’s success running a Sunday school picnic which he compares to manning a battleship. Roosevelt asks if his sister has read “Ordeal by Battle” by Frederick Scott Oliver.
