President Roosevelt does not support Henry Mottet’s plan of a memorial at the Church of the Holy Communion to Roosevelt’s uncle, James King Gracie, and supporting the orthopedic doctor. Rather, Roosevelt tells Douglas Robinson he would like to give some inheritance money to Margaret Gracie Higginson Fiske. The president is glad he was able to see Robinson and his wife, Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, in St. Louis, Missouri.
