Letter from John Woodbury to Theodore Roosevelt

John Woodbury has spoken to John Singer Sargent about doing the portrait of President Roosevelt intended as a gift to Harvard from the Class of 1880. Sargent does not intend to return to the United States until he can bring some of his Boston Public Library work. The class feels that the portrait will lose some sentiment if it is not hung while Roosevelt is still in office. Woodbury asks if Roosevelt would still like Sargent to do his portrait if he can come in 1908. If not, Ellen Emmet Rand has been suggested as a substitute painter.

Letter from Anna Roosevelt Cowles to Theodore Roosevelt

Anna Roosevelt Cowles takes President Roosevelt’s correspondence for granted because he is so wonderful. Cowles hopes the portrait by Ellen Emmet Rand for which Roosevelt is sitting is a success and wants a black and white sketch from the sittings as well. Many ambassadors are visiting, led by Lloyd Carpenter Griscom and John Wallace Riddle. Cowles enjoyed Herbert Knox Smith’s description of Roosevelt’s trip down the Mississippi River. Cowles does not want to write more so as not to overburden Roosevelt, but he is always in her thoughts.
