Letter from Jørgen Løvland to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Europe, Lectures and lecturing, Nobelstiftelsen, Norske Nobelkomite, Norway--Kristiania, Peace--International cooperation

Jørgen Løvland, on behalf of the Nobel Committee, extends an invitation to President Roosevelt to give a lecture in Kristiania, Norway, after his African tour. Løvland acknowledges that Roosevelt was unable to conform to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation during his presidency; this is why the Nobel Committee was previously unable to invite him to give a lecture. The Norwegian nation and the Nobel Committee would cordially welcome Roosevelt if he is able to accept the invitation.
