Letter from Caspar Whitney to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Caspar Whitney to Theodore Roosevelt

Caspar Whitney informs President Roosevelt that he had received four letters where people had made fun of him for taking up “cudgels for Roosevelt” although Whitney was not included in the roll of honor in the September issue of Everybody’s magazine. Whitney tells Roosevelt that his “interest in life is not to be reckoned on rolls of honor,” but the letters have made him wonder if the absence of his name from the rolls meant more than he originally thought. Whitney would like to know where he stands with the president.

Letter from Caspar Whitney to Theodore Roosevelt

Caspar Whitney, editor of The Outing Magazine, wishes President Roosevelt a happy New Year and says he speaks for all “real Americans” when he thanks God for giving the country a brave and right administration. He encourages Roosevelt to read a book by Fiona MacLeod (pseudonym of Scottish writer and poet William Sharp), titled Where the Forest Murmurs. Whitney especially points out the inclusion of a Swedish poem that reminded him of Roosevelt’s recently published essay on Irish Sagas in The Century Magazine.

Letter from Caspar Whitney to Theodore Roosevelt

Caspar Whitney informs Theodore Roosevelt about a symposium of opinions he is planning on the relative value of recreational fishing versus recreational shooting, an inquires if Roosevelt would like to contribute an opinion. Whitney lists individuals he has already solicited opinions from, and requests to hear back from Roosevelt by the end of next week, as any symposium on the subject matter would be incomplete without a word from him.
