Dearest Dodo:

Many thanks for your dear letter telling me about counsin Magdel's birthday party.  Dear me, it seemed like a very strenuous day, though very delightful.  How nice to think that you were there at the time.  I wish that I had known, I would have been so glad to have sent a cablegram to her.

Last Saturday, Raymond, Frances, and I motored to Oyster Bay to see T. R.  We had a very interesting conference, and he certainly is a very extraordinary man.  We met him on the way out, at his gate, riding horse back, the first ride since he was shot, and he insisted on turning back with us.  It was very interesting to me to hear him discuss with Raymond and Frances the political situation, and what he had better do.  Quite as interesting were|their suggestions to him.  He was a little disappointed about New York, otherwise seemed to be gratified.  He thought that we had made a splendid record.  He has since issued a statement, "A Call to the Progressives", urging them to stand together, and not rest until all the things we stand for are enacted into law.

You will be sorry to learn that Mr. Eames has died.  He was ill so long that it is really a blessing to have him released from his suffering.
