Letter from Beatrice Howie Mackey to Theodore Roosevelt
Beatrice Howie Mackey informs Theodore Roosevelt she painted a portrait of Salish Chief Charlo a few months before his death. She intends to send it to him for evaluation and asks for help putting it in a collection. Previous attempts to exhibit her work have yet to be successful. Living on the reservation, she provides for herself and two boys through painting and wants the opportunity to show her work.
