President Roosevelt thanks Pinckney Marcius-Simons for his letter and offer to send “the little picture” to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, which she will gladly accept. The president expresses Edith’s and his fondness for Marcius-Simons’s painting, and tells him that one of his works hangs in the living room at the White House: “I doubt if either of us ever goes into the room without looking at it.”
