Emlen Roosevelt is handling the estate of their uncle, Cornelius Roosevelt. His primary difficulty is with a Mrs. Motley who may have been the mistress of their cousin, also named Cornelius Roosevelt, and who believes she is owed $25,000. It has become a legal battle and Emlen believes the claim should be fought even though Mrs. Motley has excellent lawyers. He intends to make the matter so expensive for her to pursue that she will drop the demand. Emlen attended the funeral of Robert Roosevelt’s wife and he was thankful for the flowers sent by President and Edith Roosevelt. Frank Greene’s financial affairs are in bad shape.
