Caspar Whitney, editor of The Outing Magazine, wishes President Roosevelt a happy New Year and says he speaks for all “real Americans” when he thanks God for giving the country a brave and right administration. He encourages Roosevelt to read a book by Fiona MacLeod (pseudonym of Scottish writer and poet William Sharp), titled Where the Forest Murmurs. Whitney especially points out the inclusion of a Swedish poem that reminded him of Roosevelt’s recently published essay on Irish Sagas in The Century Magazine.
