Architect La Farge writes President Roosevelt that the post office has been provided for in recent appropriations and asks whether Roosevelt has spoken to Postmaster General George B. Cortelyou about La Farge “coming in on it” yet, likely inquiring about putting in a bid for his firm to design it. La Farge writes that his son Christopher has become an avid reader and recently read Roosevelt’s “Outdoor Sports” book, likely referring to Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter.
