Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Adams, Henry, 1838-1918, Anthologies, Biography, Lodge, George Cabot, 1873-1909, Memory, Poets--Family relationships, Prefaces

Henry Cabot Lodge thanks Theodore Roosevelt for his note and for agreeing to write an introduction for his late son George Cabot Lodge’s collected works of poetry. Henry Adams has written a biographical memoir so Roosevelt is free to write merely about Lodge’s poetry and his opinion of him as a man. The Lodge family feels “very great happiness” to have Roosevelt associated with “Bay’s” memory.
