Jack Crawford has previously sent Theodore Roosevelt poetry but received unfavorable responses from his secretary. He hopes by introducing himself and his credentials that Roosevelt might let him visit his home at Oyster Bay, and the “Broncho Scout” won’t bother Roosevelt after this letter. The reverse side of the letter contains letters from Crawford’s supporters.
