Marches (Piano)

J. M. McDonald has written a march that he would like to dedicate to Theodore Roosevelt and publish with the name “Bwana Tumbo” in honor of Roosevelt’s nickname in Africa. He would also like to use a photograph of Roosevelt in his hunting gear as the frontispiece. He is sending Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt a phonograph of the march for her approval. A handwritten note from Edith notes that she cannot say yes to McDonald’s request because her husband is out of the country.
