Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles
President Roosevelt writes to Anna Roosevelt Cowles to thank her for the lamp, and wishes her son, William Sheffield Cowles, could have been at the White House for Christmas. It was Christmas in “the usual style,” and then a three hour ride with the chattering children and Fitzhugh Lee, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, and Secretary of State Elihu Root. They had lunch with the Lodge and Cooley families and then Roosevelt played tennis with Ambassador J. J. Jusserand, Ted Roosevelt and Kermit Roosevelt.
