Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to David Jayne Hill
Theodore Roosevelt writes to Ambassador Hill to introduce Mrs. Clarence Dickinson. Dickinson is the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg. Roosevelt notes that she studied under Kuno Fischer and wrote a book on the history of German art, which resulted in a commission to go to Germany. Since she hopes to take photographs of illustrations from museums, private collections, and public repositories, Roosevelt vouches for Dickinson and hopes Hill will assist in obtaining the required permissions.
