Theodore Roosevelt is concerned by Royal L. Scoville’s letter. Roosevelt would have remembered the book he mentions and asks if Scoville received a receipt for it. Roosevelt regrets that anything should have “happened on account of” Scoville’s daughter, Eleanor Shannon Scoville, and he will try to look it up.
