A thirteenth birthday gift to Elliott from his older sister Anna. Underneath that inscription is a second one, dated May 25/93, which lists seven biblical readings then "Elliot jr - (Little Josh) - Died May 25/93 Buried at Tivoli May 27/93. Saturday 'Father Wait for me'--/J. West Roosevelt 'I will not leave you...'". Elliott Roosevelt's first son died of either scarlet fever or diphtheria when he was just 3 years old. Roosevelt himself would die just 15 months later, aged 34. Laid in is a blank prescription from his cousin Dr. J. West Roosevelt's medical practice with the entire "I will not leave you" quote in full.
