Brander Matthews writes to his friend President Theodore Roosevelt that he has received books recently on Japan and the Orient, written by a “clever and clear” French writer with a traveling scholarship who writes without bias. With his only child off to university, the Matthews household is lonely. It was good of Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt to send flowers from the White House conservatory.
