Augustus Saint-Gaudens responds to an inquiry from President Roosevelt about a prospective sculptor. Saint-Gaudens does not believe the gentleman in question is the best for the work, and he recommends several others, including James Earle Fraser, Adolph A. Weinman, and Albert Jaegers. Saint-Gaudens also describes his progress on the coin design in which Roosevelt is interested.
