Reverend John M. Schick of Washington, D.C.’s Grace Reformed Church tells Theodore Roosevelt of the coming construction of a new building to accommodate the thriving Sunday School the church runs. He invites him to visit sometime, and says that while they are not seeking funds, “if [Roosevelt wants] to stand in with the old crowd there will be an open hand just this once.” Schick additionally tells Roosevelt of the many developments in his family, all of whom are doing well.
