Letter from Augustus F. Austin to Theodore Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt
Augustus F. Austin, Canadian bachelor, introduces himself to President Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt. He leads an active life alone, at his family’s “comfortable country gentleman’s” homestead. Austin testifies he has no vices and is financially well-off. A spouse is his only need, and he expresses an attraction to Ethel Roosevelt. Asking what the Roosevelts think of his proposal, he invites them to visit and be sure of his sincerity.
