Letter from Henry Howard to Theodore Roosevelt

Henry Howard, Chairman of the Eastern Yacht Club Regatta Committee, reports that all matters in connection with the German-American races are progressing most satisfactorily, and that there is more general interest in the matter than in any yachting event which has ever taken place in New England. Howard sends a small book containing the rules and conditions of the match, and notes that every effort is being made to give the match an “international character.” Howard further presents the reasons he thinks might compel President Roosevelt to attend the event.
