President Roosevelt writes to famed illustrator Howard Pyle about a cartoon he drew, saying he will pass it on to George B. Cortelyou. Roosevelt feels it is “too good” to appeal to those who read cartoons, but it may attract a higher class of others who are not typical cartoon readers. Roosevelt and his wife Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt would like for Pyle to visit.
