President Roosevelt agrees with Julia Tappan Finch Gilbert’s opinion of Howard Pyle. Roosevelt cannot afford many pictures, but one that he does own is Pyle’s painting of George Rogers Clark. Regarding Pyle’s books, Roosevelt says that “the children do not care for them any more than Mrs. Roosevelt and I do.” Roosevelt believes that it is good for authors to keep varied company, and not only associate with other authors.
