Dear Sammy:
I liked your letter. The job has come to me, and there is nothing in the world to do but to carry it out as best I can. I want to see all of your boys, in company with Bob Bacon, on here for dinner at the White House this fall, just as you dined at the Executive Mansion at Albany two years ago.
Faithfully yours,
Theodore Roosevelt.

Mr. H. L. Shaw
Care E. Rolling Morse & Bro.,
Boston, Mass.

Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919
