Mark Sullivan thanks President Roosevelt for the surprise he gave him in sending the second draft of an upcoming address. Sullivan is sure that the speech will one day be regarded as of high a quality as Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and has shown it–in confidence–to Norman Hapgood, editor of Collier’s Weekly, who agrees about the high quality of the address. Sullivan would like to play up the speech at the time it is made, giving it a special printing in Collier’s, and would like to discuss this idea with Roosevelt further. He wishes Roosevelt and his family a very pleasant Christmas.
