Albert Shaw liked the “spirit” but not the prose of Judson C. Welliver’s article about President Roosevelt. He has asked Welliver to write a new piece in simpler language that delivers a systematic overview of the Roosevelt administration’s accomplishments. Shaw is optimistic about Edward B. Clark’s article for young readers on Roosevelt’s Africa trip. It is almost complete, and will be published in the March edition of The American Review of Reviews. Shaw shares his plans for the accompanying illustrations, and requests a photograph of Roosevelt in hunting attire. He also requests the short letter outlining Roosevelt’s goals for the trip that they discussed Friday evening. Shaw’s editorial remarks in the March issue will endeavor to frame Roosevelt’s legacy and future career plans in a flattering light.
