Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to J. M. Dickinson

Theodore Roosevelt wishes to introduce Raymond Lee Ditmars to Secretary of War Dickinson. Roosevelt describes Ditmars as a naturalist, historian, and an “esteemed citizen of New York City” who is now engaged in a study of the Civil War. Ditmars would like to obtain slides from Mathew Brady’s negatives, and Roosevelt would be glad if Dickinson would permit him to do so.
