Letter from Micki Hellickson to Pete Hart

Micki Hellickson, a former employee of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, sends Pete Hart a copy of a photograph which was discovered in the course of research on items exhibited at the St. Louis World’s Fair. The photograph is of the Maltese Cross cabin, with the Maltese Cross brand shown on the end of the third log from the bottom at the right corner of the building. The photo caption reports that Miss Roosevelt placed tacks into the cabin leaving her initials on the wall during the World’s Fair. Hellickson believes it may have been Alice Roosevelt.
