Letter from Nathan Bijur to William Loeb

Subject(s): Editorials, Etiquette, Fishberg, Maurice, 1872-1934, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

Nathan Bijur asks William Loeb for clarification on one unclear sentence in President Roosevelt’s letter accepting the Republican nomination for the presidency, and also encloses a letter he wrote to the editor of the New York Evening Post about the Parker Constitution Club. Bijur also says that he heard that White House etiquette requires “inmates of the household” to stand and remain standing while Roosevelt is in the room, and asks if it is true.
