John D. Rhoades reminds Theodore Roosevelt that he was the Rough Rider who accompanied him to Indianapolis, Indiana, the previous year. Upon meeting him, Rhoades’s wife, Mary Benbow Rhoades, was impressed with Roosevelt. She is an invalid and finds little interest in the barren Arizona landscape. Rhoades asks Roosevelt to sign a photograph and send it to her.
