President Roosevelt asks Lyman Abbott to tell his son, Lawrence F. Abbott, that he will write to him soon. Roosevelt will show Abbott’s letter to William H. Taft because he would like to discuss the matter with him before he answers. He also sends Abbott a letter from George Otto Trevelyan that he thinks will interest Abbott.
