Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt encloses his article on socialism with the changes that Lyman Abbott suggested. Roosevelt would like it to appear in The Outlook immediately after he leaves the presidency. He would also like all of the articles he writes to appear within six months of when he leaves America, in case things change in the time he is gone. He does not want to risk “accidental circumstances” that would make the articles seem improper.
