Robert Bridges concurs with President Roosevelt’s decision to use the pseudonym “Jacob Van Vechten” in publishing Ted’s poem “Sunset on the Marsh” in Scribner’s Magazine. Bridges will notify Baron Christian Karl Bernhard von Tauchnitz that Roosevelt approves of the terms for issuing an edition of Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter in Tauchnitz’s series. Recently, a firm in Amsterdam expressed interest in a Dutch translation of Roosevelt’s Oliver Cromwell, but Bridges says that no arrangements have been finalized. He sends the latest book by Jesse Lynch Williams and notes that he has not yet heard from James B. Connolly but expects his agreement with the plan.
