Letter from Alice Delano Weekes to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt
Alice Delano Weekes returns President Roosevelt’s description of a yellow-throated warbler to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, lest it get lost in his “voluminous mail.” Katharine Irving Paris Swan, who gave Weekes the letter from President Roosevelt, says his description is very accurate, and the only thing left to say is that the bird’s song was the “most beautiful warble” she had ever heard. Other “bird neighbors” in the area are also interested in Roosevelt’s description and hope the warbler will continue to visit the area.
