M. Florence Locke writes a friendly letter to President Roosevelt and includes a button hole bouquet from her vine of English jasmine. She believes the offering will remind him of a similar plant that was at her home in Madison, New Jersey, where he visited as a young boy. In addition, she sends two photographs which she requests the president to sign and return to her.
