Letter from D. A. Robinson to Theodore Roosevelt

Robinson informs Theodore Roosevelt of the Mounted Service School’s intention of creating a yearbook to showcase the aims and purpose of the school as well as provoke discussion around horsemanship in the army. The staff hope to publish articles written by instructors and believe a contribution by Roosevelt would be appropriate since Roosevelt greatly advanced horsemanship in the army during his presidency. Robinson assures Roosevelt any statement would be much appreciated.
