Letter from Richard W. Gilder to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Richard W. Gilder to Theodore Roosevelt

Gilder is planning to publish a recent oil painting of Mrs. Roosevelt by Cecilia Beaux in full color, presumably in Century Magazine. He also inquires about President Roosevelt’s future post-presidential publications and hopes that Century Magazine can negotiate for the publication rights. He indicates that Roosevelt’s letters may not be enough to draw up a good biography and hopes that Roosevelt will jot down some of his remembrances for the book to be published after he leaves the presidency.
