Theodore Roosevelt looks forward to receiving Mrs. Fremont Older’s novel, but it will not be possible for him to write about it. He will gladly pass it along to the regular literary critic of The Outlook though. Regarding Older’s statement about Thomas Jefferson, Roosevelt repeats his previous statement that popular sentiment as a whole at that time was against monarchy, and its revival was due to the ineffeciency of people like Jefferson in government and to the “violent excesses” of men like the French revolutionaries.
