Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hughes Le Roux

Subject(s): Books and reading, Etiquette, France, Gifts, Sports, Titles of honor and nobility

President Roosevelt apologizes that the book that Hughes Le Roux sent previously was not acknowledged. He believed he had sent a note of thanks, but it must have gotten waylaid in the mail. Roosevelt also gladly accepts honorary membership in the “Academie Francaise des Sports,” as Roosevelt believes in the purpose of the society.
