Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Robert Bridges

Subject(s): Lambert, Alexander, 1861-1939, Photographs, Publishers and publishing, Roosevelt, Kermit, 1889-1943

President Roosevelt tells Robert Bridges that the note Bridges sent him expresses his understanding. He does not believe that there will be a series or book written in connection with his safari. If there is, it would not happen until after the serialized articles appeared and the book is printed. Roosevelt will try to get Bridges a large number of photographs to choose from, and is trusting his son, Kermit Roosevelt, to act as photographer.
