Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Abby Gunn Baker
President Roosevelt tells Abby Gunn Baker that he feels that Lyon Gardiner Tyler should write to the White House to offer the portrait, and that it wouldn’t be proper for them to write to him asking for a gift. Roosevelt approves of the plan to hang the portrait, but the initiative should come from Tyler. Roosevelt refutes what Baker mentioned in her letter of a plan between Robert Underwood Johnson and Glenn Brown to add another story on the East Terrace of the White House in order to house a portrait gallery there. Roosevelt thinks doing this would be a great mistake architecturally, and says that while the White House can hold portraits of presidents and first ladies, others belong in the National Portrait Gallery.
