Letter from George Haven Putnam to William Loeb

Subject(s): Authors and publishers, Publishers and publishing

George Haven Putnam is ready to receive President Roosevelt’s foreword for Francis Curtis’s book, The Republican Party: A History of its Fifty Years’ Existence and a Record of its Measures and Leaders 1854-1904. Since Roosevelt did not have time to finish the book, Putnam suggested penning a foreword that speaks about the history and importance of the Republican Party, not about the value of Curtis’s book. Roosevelt agreed to this plan but Putnam has yet to receive the foreword.
