Architect C. Grant La Farge writes to President Roosevelt about the addition of the North Room to Sagamore Hill. The windows and blinds will be arranged as Roosevelt wishes. La Farge asks a number of questions regarding the types of wood to be used in the room. Some of the wood may be more expensive than Roosevelt can afford, but if this is the case Lafarge has other projects in which he can use it. He also asks if Roosevelt wants the room wired for electricity or gas, and asks that Roosevelt send him a telegram so that La Farge can get things set up before he goes to Washington.
