Henry Fairfield Osborn was pleased that President Roosevelt sent him a manuscript of his Romanes Lecture, and is equally pleased with the choice of subject. He will carefully study the manuscript to offer candid advice. Osborn will consult his wife about the dates of the diplomatic reception and Supreme Court dinner. He regrets being unintentionally disingenuous about being unable to attend Saturday because he is working on his book. In truth, although he is working “continuously” on his book, on Saturday he will be attending the Yale-Princeton football game with his sons.
