Letter from William Emlen Roosevelt to Theodore Roosevelt

A debate is underway about providing electric lights for Cove Neck Road, the location of President Roosevelt’s home, Sagamore Hill. Emlen Roosevelt is against the project. He believes the president of the light company wants lights for his house and that the running of electricity up Cove Neck, with the cost charged to property owners along the road, will save him part of the expense. The dogwood is in blossom at Oyster Bay. He enjoyed a recent visit from Anna Roosevelt Cowles and her family.
