Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frank Basil Tracy
President Roosevelt tells Frank Basil Tracy that while he greatly likes the portrait that Joseph DeCamp painted of him, he does not want to write a letter specifically about it because then he would be asked to write letters about every other portrait. Roosevelt does not object to Tracy making a statement that he knows that Roosevelt likes the portrait. John Woodbury has a letter that Roosevelt gives Tracy permission to quote from. Roosevelt likes Albert Bushnell Hart, especially recently since “his action in connection with the Englishman at Tokio.”
