William Emlen Roosevelt sends Theodore Roosevelt a receipt for $3,400, coming from the division of the estate of Theodore Roosevelt’s uncle, Cornelius V. S. Roosevelt. The division will not technically be made until later in the year, but Emlen thought that Theodore Roosevelt would be away at that time. He asks for the receipt to be returned with instructions regarding what he would like to be done with the money.
