Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Biddle
President and Edith Roosevelt want a “beautiful purple beech in the Pierce’s Mill meadow” in Rock Creek to be preserved and nothing has been done in the past month. The creek is eating away at the bank near the tree and Roosevelt wants a flood wall built to ensure the tree’s preservation.
