Edward William Bok understands that Theodore Roosevelt needs to be careful about writing for periodicals other than The Outlook. However, he feels his request will not violate Roosevelt’s commitment. Bok wants to awaken interest in appreciating good pictures by having prominent individuals discuss their favorite pictures to be published with a recreation of the image. He lists the other individuals he has asked for a contribution. The enclosed check is merely an expression of appreciation.
