Both handwritten letters are addressed to George von Lengerke Meyer, the ambassador to Italy. Theodore's letter, in full: "This is to introduce my sister in law Miss Emily Caron—of whom I am very fond! She is to be in Rome this winter and I venture to commend her to your courtesy. With warm regards to Mrs. Meyer, believe me." The Edith letter, in full: "It was most kind of you to allow my parcel a corner in the bag, particularly since it was rather a large one—Later in the winter I shall tuck a smaller package with the bag on my own account & ask you to see that my sister gets it. I wish I could visit her with it, for I miss her sadly this winter. With thanks and the President's regards." In overall fine condition, with an area of thinning paper to the second page of the Theodore letter.
