Letter from Hilda Francesetti di Malgrà to Theodore Roosevelt
Hilda Francesetti, contessa di Malgrà, sends President Roosevelt the first copy of her Italian translation of his book, The Strenuous Life. Francesetti has given out reproductions of a photograph which Roosevelt sent to her when she has given other copies of her work to friends, and she hopes that Roosevelt will not disapprove of this. While she still grieves for her late brother, Ugo Francesetti, conte di Malgrà, the time she spent translating Roosevelt’s work was a welcome distraction. Francesetti asks Roosevelt to forward an additional copy of the book to his sister, Anna Roosevelt Cowles.
