President Roosevelt writes to Lyman Abbott, editor of The Outlook, to tell him how much he appreciated some commentary on his presidential campaign that had recently been published. The article accurately stated Roosevelt’s views on a number of positions, and described Roosevelt’s motivations better than he could have done himself. If Roosevelt is victorious in the election, he wants Abbott to come spend a night at the White House.
