Robert Bridges informs President Roosevelt that his letter to Charles Scribner was received shortly after Scribner left on a trip. However, Scribner had heard about the possibility of an excerpt of The Rough Riders being printed in a volume by Doubleday, Page & Company, and he was not inclined to view it favorably. Scribner’s wants to protect the copyright of The Rough Riders and does not want any part of it to pass out of their control. At Roosevelt’s request, however, the company will discuss it again.
