Albert Shaw had agreed to write an article about President Roosevelt for the November issue of London’s Contemporary Review; however, Poultney Bigelow wrote an article about Roosevelt and it is going to appear in the October issue. Shaw saw drafts of Bigelow’s article and found it to be “impertinent and undignified” with a “melange of boyish reminiscence.” Shaw wants his article to be serious and combat the damage Bigelow has done. Shaw asks if there are allusions he should make regarding Roosevelt’s attitude and policies.
