George Otto Trevelyan was delighted to hear about President Roosevelt’s victory in the presidential election, and comments about a letter he had previously received from Roosevelt that he values highly. Trevelyan believes the difference in government between the United States and England is that the former elects the ruler while the latter elects the party. Trevelyan envies Roosevelt for having John Morley as a guest, since he considers Morley and the late Henry Sidgwick to be “the most delightful company of our time.”
