Scott, Frank Hall, 1848-1912

President Roosevelt thanks Frank Hall Scott for the interest, but reminds him that he told Robert Underwood Johnson that he did not believe he would be able to write such a history. Roosevelt maintains that if he writes anything, he wants it to be his best, and that he might not write anything at all after his African safari. If he does decide to write something, it will be only after much forethought.

Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

President Roosevelt thanks Frank Hall Scott for sending him H.G. Wells’s book. Roosevelt likes some of Wells’s writing but believes this book to be a “very foolish volume, and rather hurtful,” and although it holds merit from the “sensation-lovers” standpoint, the didactic qualities are absurd. (In the Days of the Comet is a science fiction novel published in 1906 about a comet that transforms humanity.)
