Roosevelt, President of the United States, The White House, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: Your secretary has very graciously acknowledged the aerial view of Groton, and while I appreciate her note, which may adequately express your own sentiments, it cannot possibly mean as much to me as a letter from you personally as a great deal of the sport which is derived from aerial photography is found in contacts with men of your cloth--even though it must be only by way of correspondence. Please understand that I do not expect any extremely busy man--least of all your good self--to sit down at his official desk and pen me a note when there are SO many more important matters demanding his attention, but I would appreciate it, if you might sometime at your leisure, spare a few moments to drop me a line.
