V. D. Cram only just received Theodore Roosevelt’s letter because his secretary addressed it wrong despite her assertion that her handwriting is “plain as print.” She would prefer he address the letter directly to the woman who sent the present. The third page does not continue the letter but is possibly an extract from a copy she sent previously about a woman who respects Roosevelt, lives in a cottage, and tells interesting and valuable stories about her life.
The woman V. D. Cram refers to as sending the present is presumably Thomin Einarson Sorenson, mentioned in the (misaddressed) secretarial response. Sorenson is likely also the woman discussed on page three.
C. V. Mosby asks Theodore Roosevelt for the address of John Singleton Mosby, head of the Denver Land Office during Roosevelt’s administration.

A postcard showing the flags of the United States and Australia crossed above an eagle with outstretched wings holding a banner in its beak with the text “E Pluribus Unum.” Above the flags is the text “Independent Order of Odd Fellows.” Next to each flag is the address of the respective country’s head office of the organization.
In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “This is a souvenir card issued by the Odd Fellows Lodge at Melbourne Australia and distributed among the Odd Fellows of the American Fleet.
I presume many of you are of a wrong impression as to what Australia realy [sic] is. I used to think that Australia was some little Island away off in some corner of the ocean and did not amount to much and when I visited that country I was muchly surprised to find that it was a country nearly as large as the U. S. and equally as well improved and modern in every way and that the cities of Sydney and Melbourne, each a city of half a million inhabitants, are cities of every advantage and as modern as any of the cities of the United States. Australia is one of the chief agricultural countries of the whole world and much of the country is still open for settlement and cultivation. Australia is a place where most all of the people are English and very few of other nationalities are found there.”
