Letter from W. H. Crook to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Books and reading, Ex-presidents, Feature writing, Presidents--Conduct of life, Presidents--Public opinion

W. H. Crook, the former White House Executive Clerk, informs Theodore Roosevelt that the last part of his series on the Home Life of Presidents will be published soon on Roosevelt’s time in the White House. While the article is limited to a certain word count, it will also be published as a longer book. Crook feels this “is the best campaign document that the Republican National Committee could send out,” and will make Roosevelt the President of the United States again. He hopes Roosevelt will read the piece and offer his opinion on it.
