President Roosevelt assures Kate Phelan Hampton that she not feel badly about causing him any annoyance over the use of his photograph in the book, which is presumably William D’Alton Mann’s Fads and Fancies of Representative Americans at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century. However, Roosevelt wants to again stress that he does not authorize the use of his photo in this case and wants nothing about him to appear in the book.
