Frederick A. Stokes hopes that Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt considers publishing an account of his experiences in the Spanish-American War with the Stokes Publishing Company. Stokes assures Roosevelt that they will publish on Roosevelt’s terms and refers Roosevelt to Lieutenant Peary as a reference for the company. Stokes also mentions a few of the other writers who they have published, and asks that Roosevelt write him back while acknowledging how busy Roosevelt is with war work.
