Letter from Ellen Williston Clarke to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt
Ellen Williston Clarke asks Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt to confirm the New York Tribune’s story about what Theodore Roosevelt was wearing when he sailed for Africa. The story says he was wearing a khaki overcoat over a uniform with the insignia of a colonel, but her friend who was there does not remember seeing this. If the story is true, Clarke would like to know what organization the uniform was for. A handwritten note from Roosevelt confirms that the story was untrue and that Roosevelt wore a black cutaway coat and striped trousers.
