Theodore Roosevelt thanks Brander Matthews for sending him the two documents. He has never heard of the book nor the author and sees no address for the author. Accordingly, “I have written saying that it is an impudent forgery, so you won’t have to send them to the Evening Post.” He also is enjoying the volume on versification that arrived and appreciated seeing Matthews the other day.
