Letter from John Woodbury to Theodore Roosevelt
John Woodbury informs President Roosevelt that he has received a letter from John Singer Sargent, and it is unlikely he will be able to paint Roosevelt’s portrait. Woodbury is anxious to have a portrait made before Roosevelt leaves office, and suggests Frederick Porter Vinton for the job. Woodbury supposes Roosevelt has heard of the death of Henry Bainbridge Chapin’s son.

Letter from John Woodbury to Theodore Roosevelt
John Woodbury has spoken to John Singer Sargent about doing the portrait of President Roosevelt intended as a gift to Harvard from the Class of 1880. Sargent does not intend to return to the United States until he can bring some of his Boston Public Library work. The class feels that the portrait will lose some sentiment if it is not hung while Roosevelt is still in office. Woodbury asks if Roosevelt would still like Sargent to do his portrait if he can come in 1908. If not, Ellen Emmet Rand has been suggested as a substitute painter.
