Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to David Jayne Hill

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to David Jayne Hill

President Roosevelt thanks Ambassador Hill for the write-up of the funeral of his good friend and former German Ambassador, Hermann Speck von Sternburg. In the future Roosevelt may ask Hill to enquire about accommodations for hunting in German East Africa, in case his safari brings him to that region. While he is abroad Roosevelt will likely be presented, as a private citizen, to King Edward VII of Great Britain while visiting Oxford University. Should the German Emperor William II expressly request a visit, he would also visit Berlin.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to David Jayne Hill

Theodore Roosevelt writes to Ambassador Hill to introduce Mrs. Clarence Dickinson. Dickinson is the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg. Roosevelt notes that she studied under Kuno Fischer and wrote a book on the history of German art, which resulted in a commission to go to Germany. Since she hopes to take photographs of illustrations from museums, private collections, and public repositories, Roosevelt vouches for Dickinson and hopes Hill will assist in obtaining the required permissions.
