Letter from Earl Grey to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Death, Grey, George, 1866-1911, Pease, Alfred E. (Alfred Edward), Sir, 1857-1939, Photographs

Earl Grey apologizes in having taken so long to return Alfred E. Pease’s account of the death of his brother, George Grey, but wished to wait until he could send Theodore Roosevelt a photograph of him which showed his character better than the studio portraits that are more common. When he next sees Roosevelt in person, he will share some stories of George Grey, which he is sure Roosevelt will enjoy.
