Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyman Abbott
Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt tells Lyman Abbott that his editorial was beneficial, showing him newspaper clippings from Mississippi as evidence. Additionally, Roosevelt wishes that Abbott could have heard some Missourians discuss the Missouri senatorial situation, as it would have helped him understand why Roosevelt did not interfere in Delaware. Roosevelt asks Abbott to tell the “gentleman whose letter you showed me” to visit him Washington, D.C., and says he will be happy to explain the entire situation.
