Letter from George T. Powell to Theodore Roosevelt

George T. Powell came to the Oyster Bay area in 1905 to examine trees and educate people on how to protect them from insects. He has recently been invited to visit the region again. Powell offers to look at President Roosevelt’s trees while he is there and to advise the estate’s superintendent on how to protect them. Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt indicated the work was not needed, as someone had attended to the estate’s trees last year.

Letter from John W. Vrooman to William Loeb

Letter from John W. Vrooman to William Loeb

Colonel Vrooman is sorry that William Loeb will not be able to join them, and General Albert Leopold Mills will be disappointed, but he understands that Loeb is very busy. Vrooman reports that Fred Morris’s wife broke her ankle, and the shock may injure her as much as the fracture. Vrooman also reports that he had a delightful visit with Admiral George Dewey, and he hopes to drop by and see Loeb on his upcoming visit to Locust Valley.
