George Haven Putnam writes Theodore Roosevelt to ask him a favor concerning Putnam’s brother’s son, George Palmer Putnam. George Palmer Putnam is a newspaper correspondent currently residing in Oregon but recently returned to New York to get married, and will travel back to Oregon soon via the Panama Canal whilst writing news reports on the canal’s status. George Haven Putnam hopes Roosevelt might still be in contact with people involved in the Panama Canal and connect Putnam’s nephew with these individuals. Putnam also knows of a book concerning war photography being published soon that Roosevelt might find interesting.
