Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles
President Roosevelt is no longer familiar with ranches in the West where Frances E. Monson could send her son to rid him of the temptation to drink. He also believes that his friends in the West would not know of any such places. Most good ranches will only take men who are already experienced with working on ranches, unless the men are willing to pay to be trained in the trade. He suggests that Anna Roosevelt Cowles write to William Emlen Roosevelt to ask which ranch John Kean Roosevelt trained at. He adds that his son Theodore Roosevelt cannot say enough good things about how Cowles has treated him.
