Letter from D. T. Abercrombie to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from D. T. Abercrombie to Theodore Roosevelt

D. T. Abercrombie asks President Roosevelt what he thought about some samples of canvas that the David T. Abercrombie Company sent to him. The material, Abercrombie says, is the best material for tents, but he would like to have Roosevelt’s opinion on it, as the company hopes to sell him a tent for his African safari and would like to meet his specifications. Abercrombie sends Roosevelt more samples of material, as well as a full product catalog under separate cover.
