Senator Bourne writes to William Loeb about a delivery of cherries. Bourne’s secretary, John C. Young, will send them from Portland, Oregon, by Wells Fargo Express in a custom icebox. Half of the cherries are to go to President Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and the other half to Loeb and his wife, Katharine. Bourne asks that Loeb return the icebox to Portland so that he can send more cherries in the future.
