Letter from R. Sheridan to William Loeb

Subject(s): Boots, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919, Shoes

R. Sheridan acknowledges receipt of an order for two pairs of black walking shoes for President Roosevelt, and promises to follow directions and have them made with as much room as the last pair. Regarding the complaint William Loeb told him of, that the riding boots he made for Roosevelt were not as comfortable as his old ones, Sheridan suggests that it is because they are new and will will have to be broken in.
