In the absence of his father Lyman Abbott, Lawrence F. Abbott confirms receipt of the copies of President Roosevelt’s Sorbonne and Romanes lectures. He will share them with his father, and then will ensure they are carefully kept until such time as Roosevelt authorizes their publication. Abbott would appreciate if Roosevelt would send a memorandum stating which associations he would like the lectures distributed to, and the dates on which they should be released. He additionally acknowledges receipt of the proofs of several articles Roosevelt has written for The Outlook. Abbott is pleased that The Outlook can assist Roosevelt with his European lecture, and makes sure that Roosevelt knows they can be called upon to assist in any way they are able.
