Frances M. Wolcott informs President Roosevelt of the work done by the archaeologist Giacomo Boni in Rome and of lectures he has recently given in England. Boni is trying to raise money for a library at the Roman Forum. Wolcott wonders if a lecture tour in the United States would be worthwhile, and if so, how to go about arranging it.
