Cardinal Raphael Merry del Val thanks Henry White for sending the photographs of President Roosevelt. His Holiness Pope Pius X is pleased with this token. Merry del Val, too, is honored that Roosevelt is sending him a copy of his recent speech. There should be “esteem and confidence on all sides” that Roosevelt is president. Merry del Val was secretary of the papal conclave of 1903 that elected Pope Pius X.
