Clarence L. Brock, director and secretary of the Houston Museum and Scientific Society, asks for Theodore Roosevelt’s help in publicizing the mission of the society and the benefits of such a museum. They have a number of valuable collections, but have been having trouble raising funds for the construction of a building to house them. A word from Roosevelt, Brock believes, would help garner attention and support for their mission.
