Corinne Roosevelt Robinson thanked Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt for her note but has not yet thanked Theodore Roosevelt for his “much valued letter.” She cherishes Roosevelt’s thoughts about her poetry. Henry Cabot Lodge, Edith Wharton, and Jacob A. Riis also praised her work. Corinne thinks one of her recent poems has “lyric charm” and may send it in for publication. Her son, Theodore Douglas Robinson, is working hard on his campaign and appreciates Roosevelt’s words.
