Manuscript about Theodore Roosevelt’s travels in Europe in 1910, submitted to The Reader’s Digest by his personal secretary, Frank Harper. The article describes how Harper came to work for Theodore Roosevelt, his first meeting with him at Sagamore Hill before his departure on his African safari in 1909, and meeting him again next in Rome a year later. Harper then details the controversy over whether Roosevelt would be able to meet the pope (which meeting Harper describes as being blocked by Cardinal Merry del Val), Roosevelt’s meeting with the King of Italy, his visit to Porto Maurizio to see his wife’s sister Emily Carow, his address at the Sorbonne in Paris (which was translated for him into French by Jules Jusserand), an offer from Count Zeppelin to visit Germany in one of his Zeppelins, the hospitality of the German Kaiser in Berlin, and Roosevelt’s service as the special ambassador representing the United States at the funeral of Edward VII.
