George H. Mifflin, of the Houghton Mifflin Company, would like to know if President Roosevelt will consider writing a previously discussed volume on “Civic Duties.” Mifflin has also gained approval from former Secretary of State John Hay’s widow Clara Louise Stone Hay to ask Roosevelt to consider writing a volume on the deceased statesman, based on a recently completed biography, as Roosevelt previously wrote two volumes for the American Statesmen series. This letter was sent by way of Lawrence F. Abbott, of The Outlook.
