Click on image to zoom in
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt informs G.P. Putnam’s Sons that he will shortly be able to assemble the essays that George Haven Putnam had spoken to him about publishing. He asks that a copy of his previous work, Practical Politics, be sent to him, as he plans for the two essays it contains to be reprinted. Roosevelt calls attention to the fact that, while Putnam had requested specifically political essays, he does not have enough that are narrowly political, and that they often range more broadly, and asks that if G.P. Putnam’s Sons does not wish to publish these, they say so frankly.
