William S. Cowles tells Theodore Roosevelt he hoped Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt is on the mend. Cowles loved Theodore Roosevelt’s editorial “Our Neighbors, the Ancients,” and will get the book to read. Cowles agrees with Roosevelt regarding the removal of obelisks and other artifacts from their original locations and believes Akhenaton, King of Egypt, should not be allowed to wander foolishly about.
