Letter from William Hamlin Childs to Theodore Roosevelt
William Hamlin Childs thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the picture and generous sentiments. Childs relays two matters to Roosevelt. The first involves a little girl who, unbeknownst to her family, sent a letter to Roosevelt to confirm that he agrees with her that a teddy bear is a doll. She was delighted to receive a letter from Roosevelt confirming her opinion and her family was astonished. The second matter is in regard to a friend’s correspondence with Charles L. Bernheimer regarding Roosevelt’s book on South America. Childs encloses the correspondence and thinks Roosevelt will find it delightful.
