Douglas Robinson will not be attending Broadway Improvement Company’s meeting as every time he makes a suggestion it is voted down by the Roosevelt contingent. He encloses a note from Floyd B. Hurt which he believes is a “typical letter of a Virginia Democrat.” He asks if Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt received the gloves he sent her. He reports that his son, Stewart Douglas Robinson, will arrive on Saturday and that Corrine Roosevelt Robinson is feeling better.

Douglas Robinson is glad to hear that President Roosevelt approves of putting Robert Ferguson in James King Gracie’s place. While Robinson discourages appointing Theodore Roosevelt Jr. at the moment, he wishes to appoint him to a business position in the future. He encloses a letter from Gustav E. Kissel, and plans to send Roosevelt a photograph of his hunting guide, Tazewell Woody. In a postscript, Robinson reports a recent theft.
