Letter from John Hay to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Hepburn, Mr. (William Peters), 1833-1916, Strachey, John St. Loe, 1860-1927

Secretary of State Hay directs President Roosevelt to an admirable article about the President written by Spectator editor John St. Loe Strachey.

Hay hopes to extend his New Hampshire vacation a week or two more but is available at any time.
