Miscellaneous article on the same page:

AMERICAN PRESIDENT AND NATAL BABY

Little Theodore Bailey, of Maritzburg, is probably the only child in South Africa who can boast of having the autograph of a real live President in his birthday book. He was born on September 15, 1901, and his father, Mr. W. H. Bailey (of the Engineer-in-Chief’s Office, N.G.R.) named his first-born Theodore Henry Grant. Recently, on his behalf, a birthday book was purchased and forwarded to President Roosevelt, at the White House, Washington. Mr. Bailey has now received, under an official cover, from the White House, the book containing Theodore Roosevelt’s autograph. Immediately beneath his name, the United States President had written the following kindly wish:--

“May little Theodore Henry Grant Bailey live to cause joy and pride to his father and mother.—September 22, 1903.”

Ellen Stanton
