Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles

President Roosevelt asks Anna Roosevelt Cowles to pass along his congratulations to Joseph W. Alsop on being newly nominated for Senator, and says he is a man with courage and sense. For the most part, Roosevelt is more interested in the politics of the Alsop types than the young men working in diplomatic positions. Roosevelt feels validated in his attitude towards Ohio Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, and wishes William H. Taft would be a more vocal critic of Foraker, as well as of William Jennings Bryan.

Letter from Anna Roosevelt Cowles to Theodore Roosevelt

Anna Roosevelt Cowles says the news about Ohio Senator Joseph Benson Foraker validates President Roosevelt’s feelings, and Justice William H. Moody thinks the situation will help William H. Taft. Ambassador to Brazil Edwin V. Morgan has commented on the recent political involvement of the wealthy. Cowles thinks Seth Low Pierrepont is qualified to enter the diplomatic service and she hopes Roosevelt will speak to him. Joe Alsop’s senate nomination and hard work have pleased Cowles. Mabel Boardman, who Cowles is visiting, is going to Washington for the tuberculosis congress in her usual hardworking spirit. She invites Ted Roosevelt to visit Farmington, though he might find it boring.
