Stimson, Henry L. (Henry Lewis), 1867-1950

Theodore Roosevelt tells Henry L. Stimson he has not been away from Oyster Bay on a single Sunday since the summer, but the Sunday Stimson wants to visit, he will be in New York at the Labor Temple. Roosevelt asks Stimson if he and his wife, Mabel Wellington White Stimson might dine with them in the evening instead. Roosevelt also repeats that he liked Stimson’s report and will ask The Outlook to emphasize the points Stimson made. In a post script, Roosevelt quotes Abraham Lincoln who says no man can be justly asked if he will cross the bridge until he has reached it, but Roosevelt does not believe he will ever reach the bridge in question.
