Theodore Clay Northcott sent an album of photographs depicting the Luray Caverns, which he asks William Loeb to present to President Roosevelt and his family. He is unsure if Roosevelt has visited the caves during his many travels. Northcott believes they are impressive creations of nature, comparable to Yosemite and the Grand Canyon. The caverns are convenient to Roosevelt’s Virginia estate, and the community would be honored should he visit.
