Caspar Whitney is sorry that President Roosevelt “shooed off” Alexander Lambert from writing a study of him in the field. Lambert gave Whitney a couple photographs of Roosevelt, one of which will be printed in Collier’s Weekly. The other one shows Roosevelt sitting in the door of a cabin with a dog on his lap, which is Whitney’s favorite photograph of Roosevelt, and he prizes it highly. Whitney will send Roosevelt the photographs by express, and asks that Roosevelt autograph and return them.
