Letter from Dora McLaughlin to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Bishops, Bryan, William Jennings, 1860-1925, Catholics, Copyright--Photographs

Dora McLaughlin informs Theodore Roosevelt that the St. Anne’s Altar Society holds copyright on a picture of John Henry Tihen—Bishop Elect of Lincoln, Nebraska—and inquires how much money the Outlook would pay for its exclusive use in The Outlook. She is a fan of Roosevelt and his work in spite of his actions in “the Vatican Case,” and she feels that publishing a piece on Tihen will raise Roosevelt’s approval among Catholic voters.
