George Haven Putnam sends President Roosevelt a letter of introduction for his friend, Dartmouth Professor Justin Harvey Smith. Smith is working on a book regarding the relations between Mexico and the United States. Smith had begun writing about the Mexican War of 1847-1848, and when this came to Putnam’s attention, he advised Smith that Roosevelt intended to write about this in his series on the Winning of the West. Putnam thinks that perhaps the two authors might collaborate in some way, and suggests that Roosevelt discuss this with Smith, who is in Washington and will be seeking an appointment.
