Letter from William Emlen Roosevelt to Theodore Roosevelt

President Roosevelt’s cousin, William Emlen Roosevelt, was relieved to receive word that Alice Roosevelt Longworth is doing well. His wife, Christine Griffin Kean Roosevelt, has been resting due to a sprained ankle. Emlen hopes people will believe President Roosevelt now that he has reaffirmed he will not seek a third term. The banks are still struggling financially, and Emlen believes that the New York banks need more assistance than those in the West. He hopes to mitigate panic among “small depositors” at the Savings Banks and will be carefully looking over their published statements as well as those of the insurance companies on January 1.
