Edward William Bok tells President Roosevelt that his son, Curtis Bok, is currently very enamored by an article describing his visit with Roosevelt, and that Edward William Bok wishes to print a special bound copy of the article so that his son can always keep it. He asks Roosevelt if he would be willing to autograph a photograph of himself so that Bok can bind it into the book as well. Curtis Bok is a large fan of Roosevelt, and is “in a wrath because Congress laughed at [Roosevelt’s] Secret Service message.”
