The photograph that William H. Moyer sent President Roosevelt is of the old house in Roswell. Moyer is sending pictures of the outside of the house and views of the room where Roosevelt’s parents were married. Since the day was dark and stormy good views, especially interior views, were impossible. Moyer will gladly return to Roswell on a bright day to take more pictures.
