Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyman Abbott

Subject(s): Newspapers, Periodicals, Speeches, addresses, etc.

President Roosevelt sends Lyman Abbott copies of his Sorbonne and Romanes lectures that he will deliver in the spring of 1910. They should not be published until he delivers the lectures, but once that is done Roosevelt wonders if The Outlook would be willing to arrange for their publications through press associations for whichever newspapers may wish to publish them.
