Albert Shaw liked the “spirit” but not the prose of Judson C. Welliver’s article about President Roosevelt. He has asked Welliver to write a new piece in simpler language that delivers a systematic overview of the Roosevelt administration’s accomplishments. Shaw is optimistic about Edward B. Clark’s article for young readers on Roosevelt’s Africa trip. It is almost complete, and will be published in the March edition of The American Review of Reviews. Shaw shares his plans for the accompanying illustrations, and requests a photograph of Roosevelt in hunting attire. He also requests the short letter outlining Roosevelt’s goals for the trip that they discussed Friday evening. Shaw’s editorial remarks in the March issue will endeavor to frame Roosevelt’s legacy and future career plans in a flattering light.

Albert Shaw approves of President Roosevelt’s recent message relating to the Secret Service. He reminds Roosevelt of a promise to write a letter about Abraham Lincoln that could be published in the American Review of Reviews. He will not hold Roosevelt to this if it is inconvenient, but he hopes that Roosevelt would be willing to write about Lincoln’s work as an executive, “dealing from day to day with the problems that a President has to face, the big things and the little things.” Shaw feels that with the recent death of Grover Cleveland, there is now no one better suited to write on this topic, and hopes that Roosevelt will be able to write something.
