Responding to an inquiry about President Roosevelt’s membership in the National Institute of Arts and Letters, Brander Matthews writes that he does not have any information about the president’s membership, but he hopes that he continues it. The National Institute includes many of the leading artists, composers, and writers in the nation, according to Matthews. Included in the membership are William Dean Howells, Edmund Clarence Stedman, George Washington Cable, Richard Watson Gilder, and Hamlin Garland. The group holds two or three meetings a year.
