William Wingate Sewall, Collector of Customs at Aroostook County, will be sending President Roosevelt some maple sugar. Sewall hopes Roosevelt’s boys can come deer hunting soon, and he describes the camp he has built at Hook Point with his son Fred Sewell. Major General Henry C. Merriam and Civil Service Commissioner Charles Lyman have recently visited. If Roosevelt is too busy to visit Maine, Sewell might be able to come to Oyster Bay.
