Theodore Roosevelt asks Spanish Ambassador Don Juan Riaño y Gayangos if he will pass on a book Roosevelt wrote about hunting in South America to the Duke of Alba, Jacobo Stuart Fitz-James y Falcó. “Alva,” as Roosevelt refers to him, stood in Kermit Roosevelt’s recent wedding to Belle Wyatt Willard in Madrid, where the elder Roosevelt enjoyed the company of King Alfonso III and Queen Victoria of Spain.
