Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George Haven Putnam

Theodore Roosevelt declines to join a proposed organization, since he is spending all his time promoting an undivided American nationalism. He agrees with the aim of the organization, that Britain and the United States should have very close ties and be sworn allies. He admires the British Navy and hopes that the United States will build one comparable, although not surpassing it. The envelope is addressed to Mrs. Douglas Robinson.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George Haven Putnam

President Roosevelt recently saw a letter of George Haven Putnam’s in the New York Times, which made reference to Roosevelt still being under contract to finish The Winning of the West. Roosevelt thought that the work was already finished, and while he might be able to continue it, as he would like to write about the Republic of Texas, he is not sure he can. It was his understanding that the project was completed with the fourth volume, and he did not think he was obliged to write additional volumes.
