Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John T. Loomis
President Roosevelt would prefer his books to be bound in pig skin rather than cloth, but tells John T. Loomis to prioritize weight over everything else. He asks Loomis to find a better set of selections from Edgar Allan Poe, as he does not care for the notes, introduction, and pictures. He also returns other books for Loomis to bind, including three Shakespeare volumes. He asks Loomis to let him know the total weight.
