George T. Powell came to the Oyster Bay area in 1905 to examine trees and educate people on how to protect them from insects. He has recently been invited to visit the region again. Powell offers to look at President Roosevelt’s trees while he is there and to advise the estate’s superintendent on how to protect them. Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt indicated the work was not needed, as someone had attended to the estate’s trees last year.
