Postcard with a quotation from Theodore Roosevelt’s essay, “What We Can Expect of the American Boy,” which appeared in St. Nicholas Magazine (May 1900). The postcard includes the line, “don’t foul and don’t shirk, but hit the line hard.” Ida supposes “D. D.” is “reading all the president’s [sic] messages” and so sends him this one.
