Letter from Anna Roosevelt Cowles to Theodore Roosevelt

Anna Roosevelt Cowles has been eager to write to President Roosevelt but knows he is busy. After seeing many of their friends, she updates Roosevelt on their views and the influence of financial ties on his supporters. Cowles has been at a beautiful property called Hill-Stead owned by Alfred Atmore Pope and Ada Brooks Pope, and she feels that such places reflect positively on wealth in America. She updates Roosevelt on William S. Cowles’ trip and on family matters. As a favor to Frederick William Vanderbilt who has been respectful to Roosevelt through everything, Cowles asks if Roosevelt can have Duchess of Manchester Consuelo Montagu for lunch. Douglas Robinson seems to be making a political impact in Herkimer County, and Cowles looks forward to visiting and talking about many things whenever it is convenient for Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt.
