Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Emlen Roosevelt

President Roosevelt writes his cousin William Emlen Roosevelt regarding family matters, mentioning recent news about William’s children. Roosevelt wishes that his son Theodore Roosevelt had focused more on his studies, but that he did the best he could to encourage him to do so. Roosevelt mentions a letter from Justice Townsend Scudder, noting that he doubts he could carry off the plan for which Scudder advocates. Roosevelt suggests letting Maxwell operate under the advice of Scudder, and that William should back Maxwell up when appropriate.

Letter from William Emlen Roosevelt to Theodore Roosevelt

William Emlen Roosevelt sent the money from Uncle Cornelius V. S. Roosevelt’s estate to Douglas Robinson as requested by Theodore Roosevelt. Emlen telegraphed Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, informing her of Noah Seaman’s death. Overall, Emlen’s family is well. However, his wife, Christine Griffin Kean Roosevelt, had an attack of “grippe,” likely due to anxiety over Lucy Margaret Roosevelt’s surgery, which appears to have been a success. Christine Kean Roosevelt Shelley was at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and is headed to San Antonio, Texas.
