Theodore Roosevelt was shocked by Judge Francis C. Lowell’s death. However, he pleads with Frank Basil Tracy not to request a written tribute from him. He receives continual requests to write articles and make speeches, which he cannot physically do, nor would it be wise to try. Roosevelt comments on Lowell’s public service and career and permits Tracy to quote him.
