President Roosevelt asks Robert Bridges to not publish the poem under the actual name of his son, Theodore Roosevelt, but to use a pseudonym. Ted worries that if it were published under his own name, he would receive comments that it was only published because he is Roosevelt’s son, and could lead to negative consequences. Roosevelt additionally forwards a letter from Christian Karl Bernhard von Tauchnitz, a German publisher to whom Roosevelt has given permission to use one of his books. He asks that Bridges communicate with Tauchnitz on the matter.
