Ernest Hamlin Abbott, editor of The Outlook, compares the Abbott family to the Republican Party in that both “can present a united front . . . but still be torn with internal strife.” Abbott has already shown President Roosevelt’s letter to his brother Lawrence F. Abbott, and will try to show it to his father, Lyman Abbott, when he returns from a trip. He jokes that “it will be useless for [him] to try to induce Lyman Abbott, 2nd,” Lawrence F. Abbott’s newborn son, to read Roosevelt’s letter. Ernest Hamlin Abbott and his brother Lawrence Abbott “like immensely” Roosevelt’s Provincetown speech and feel it will positively impact national views on controlling corporations.
