Stephania A. Porter has sent President Roosevelt a miniature portrait on ivory of his mother, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt. Porter had intended to leave the portrait, given to her as a girl, to her own family, but she feels the Roosevelts should have it and take it to the White House with them. Porter wishes Roosevelt’s parents could see him now as president. Porter recently injured her knee but will soon visit her son.
