Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt informs Captain Gleaves that she will not be requesting the services of the presidential yacht, USS Mayflower, during the fall of 1902, although she suggests that he communicate with George B. Cortelyou to find out what President Roosevelt’s needs may be. Roosevelt recommends creating only one plate for both her and President Roosevelt, with the crest stamped in gold. She congratulates Gleaves on the record of the Mayflower at target practice, and sends some pictures to him care of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
