Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary regrets to inform Herbert Putnam that Roosevelt does not have any copies of the address he gave on the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. Nor does he have a copy of the article Roosevelt wrote in 1909 on Lincoln, but if Putnam writes directly to Collier’s, they may be able to send a copy of the article.
