Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Halsey Cooley Ives
President Roosevelt feels that the American public will support the enterprise Halsey Cooley Ives is engaged in, and feels that the creation of such a museum of art will “be one of the strongest factors in the development of art education and of the appreciation of art,” not only in Missouri, but throughout the United States. He hopes that Ives is able to do the work he suggests.
