Kentarō Kaneko sends two post cards from Japan featuring President Roosevelt. Roosevelt gave him the picture last year at Oyster Bay. Everyone thought it was the best photo available. Kaneko is amazed it has been a year since he left America and reminisces on his times visiting Roosevelt in Oyster Bay. Kaneko is curious if Roosevelt ever received the letter which explains the gifts sent to Roosevelt by Emperor Meiji.
