Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Mrs. A. W. Nicholson
Theodore Roosevelt played a small role in getting Mr. Homer’s son a railroad position and last he heard the boy was doing well. He cannot contribute to a movement to get a “stone” for Homer as he receives too many similar requests and cannot choose one over another. Roosevelt wishes he had met Mrs. A. W. Nicholson’s son.

Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to Mrs. A. W. Nicholson
Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary asks Mrs. A. W. Nicholson to write a letter to Roosevelt expressing her views on women’s suffrage. She is to write in a tone that reflects that Roosevelt is for suffrage, and he may send the letter to The Outlook to publish. Roosevelt showed Nicholson’s letter to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, who has been “extremely lukewarm” on the subject of women’s suffrage, and Mrs. Roosevelt approved of Nicholson’s approach. Roosevelt increasingly favors women’s suffrage, but does not want to force it on states that do not want it.
