Clara Louise Stone Hay asks President Roosevelt to send any correspondence he had with her late husband, Secretary of State John Hay, to be published in a book along with his other correspondence. While it would not be appropriate to publish letters sent during Roosevelt’s presidency, she would appreciate any he can share from his time as Governor of New York and Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Hay agrees to return the letters if desired and offers to send Roosevelt the letters he wrote to her husband since he became President.
