William Emlen Roosevelt is glad that Archibald B. Roosevelt is recovering and understands the anxiety President Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt suffer. He wants to visit Washington, D.C., to talk about his dispute with a treasury official and the Harriman incident. Christine Roosevelt is nervous about the idea of William staying where a person has diphtheria, so he may sleep at his in-laws to calm her. He visited Russell in the hospital. The superintendent of Roosevelt Hospital is dying. William hoped that spring was arriving, but a recent snow storm crushed his hopes of riding.

President Roosevelt ploughs through a variety of drifts: “tariff revision drift,” “swollen fortune drift,” “railroad drift,” “Standard Oil drift,” “Senate drift,” “Jap. drift,” and “canal drift.” In the background the Republican elephant cries, “Help!” stuck underneath a drift.
“Drift” was a word that made its way into President Roosevelt’s speeches and articles, reflecting his concern that events might slip out of control in areas of public life where he had influence. Whether it was reform to forestall revolution, or urgent conservation measures to prevent the spoil of natural beauty and resources, or similar palliatives, Roosevelt always seemed concerned with anticipating possible over-reactions to challenges and problems in society.
