Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to J. Henry Harper
Senator Lodge clarifies a correction he sent to J. Henry Harper regarding Theodore Roosevelt’s actions after the 1880 Republican National Convention. The conversation suggested by Harper between Roosevelt and George William Curtis never took place as Roosevelt did not return to New York by train. After a personal inquiry of Roosevelt and a review of letters from that time, Lodge knows that Roosevelt could not have said what was attributed to him in Harper’s book.
