Literature--Illustrations

President Roosevelt likes the proofs that Robert Bridges has sent, and began marking which illustrations he thought could go on the book. Once he has gone through all the proofs, he hopes Bridges will be able to visit him to go over the matter together. Roosevelt wants to be sure to only put in pictures which will mean something to the reader, and not only those that are significant to him. He encloses an appendix to the book.
