Edwin H. Allison sends a pipe to Kermit Roosevelt as a Christmas present for President Roosevelt with the message that honest men want Roosevelt to run again and finish the good work he started. Senator Robert J. Gamble found Allison employment as an interpreter for the Allotting Agent, although his salary is small. Little Knife, a Brûlée Sioux, made the pipe. In a postscript, Allison encloses letters from Army officers, which he asks Kermit to return.
