Lawrence F. Abbott shares that President Roosevelt’s “letter of friendship and sympathy was a source of real comfort” to his father, Lyman Abbott. Roosevelt’s letters to newspaper editor Edgar Williams and David Scull of Bryn Mawr College arrived. Abbott, and therefore The Outlook, do not share Scull’s and Williams’s anxieties, as evidenced by the articles he attaches. Finally, he thanks Roosevelt for suggesting Judge Thomas Goode Jones’s letters regarding the railway issue.
