Theodore Roosevelt thanks Elbert F. Baldwin for sending him a clipping written by Oswald Villard of the Evening Post. Roosevelt refers to Villard as a “kind of hyphenated-American whom I loathe more than anyone.” Roosevelt also discusses William Roscoe Thayer and notes his recent review of Thayer’s Life and Letters of John Hay for Harvard Graduate Magazine.
