North Dakota--Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Letter from Sam W. Mitchell to Allyn F. Hanks

Montana Secretary of State Mitchell responds to Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park Superintendent Hanks’s request for a directory of Montana state officials. Hanks had asked for the directory so that invitations could be issued for the park’s dedication ceremony. Mitchell informs Hanks that the state does not publish such a book but encloses a list of state officials for Hanks.
