Letter from Howard Pyle to Theodore Roosevelt
Howard Pyle thanks President Roosevelt for his letter of introduction to Gifford Pinchot. Due to Roosevelt’s kind deed, Pyle praises Roosevelt’s administration and believes that he “will stand forth in history as one of the very greatest of our presidents.” Pyle also notes that Roosevelt had inspired him in painting a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, which Anna Roosevelt Cowles has seen in Pyle’s studio in Wilmington, Delaware.
