Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt asks White House steward Henry Pinckney to send an updated inventory of the amounts of cigars and liquors present in the White House to Captain William S. Cowles so that he can purchase some replacements and make sure everything is stocked. She informs Pinckney of some of the family’s travel plans between Sagamore Hill and the White House, and offers to send him a photograph of her son, Quentin Roosevelt, and his, Roswell N. Pinckney together.
