Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary informs B. F. Boos that Kermit Roosevelt does not possess any invoice for the sample marbles. They were acquired in Italy and given to Warrington Dawson in Paris, who would have shipped them sooner to New York had he not fallen ill. Roosevelt’s secretary instructs Boos to have the duties assessed and paid and to forward the marbles to Oyster Bay, after which the account for these services will be paid.
