C. E. Eyles is conducting research for his play about King Charles II of England, whom he believes “was more wayward than wicked.” A biography on Oliver Cromwell mentioned a rumor that Charles II had sexual relations with Cromwell’s daughter. He asks Theodore Roosevelt if he included this incident in his work on Cromwell. Eyles assures he has always been “a Roosevelt man.”
