John St. Loe Strachey is pleased that President Roosevelt liked his “little book,” and agrees with Roosevelt’s assessment that he should have applied Proverbs 29:12 to the people as well as rulers. He congratulates Roosevelt on president-elect William H. Taft’s victory. He also hopes that when Roosevelt is in England following the Romanes Lecture, he and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt will have time to spend a weekend at his house in Surrey.
