Abbott, Ernest Hamlin

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lawrence F. Abbott

President Roosevelt sends Lawrence F. Abbott, editor of The Outlook, his correspondence with Judge Thomas Goode Jones, who he is “glad that I have backed up.” The Sun’s recent turn against the Navy surprised Roosevelt, and he would like to discuss the matter with Abbott and his brother, Ernest Hamlin Abbott. Roosevelt extends an invitation to stay at the White House to Abbott’s father, Lyman Abbott. The Outlook continually provides excellent points, which Roosevelt draws on.

Letter from Lyman Abbott to Theodore Roosevelt

Lyman Abbott plans to interpret the results of the election for the readers of the Outlook, but if the results are what he expects and President Roosevelt is reelected, he does not think the interpretation will be difficult. Abbott believes the Republican party should initiate revision of the tariff. He would be pleased to visit the White House along with his son, Ernest Hamlin Abbott, any time it is convenient for Roosevelt. Abbott would like Roosevelt to talk with Ernest because he thinks Ernest understands the feeling in the South on the question of race, and believes that they need to recognize this if there is to be any progress made on the issue.

Letter from William Bailey Howland to John H. Batten

Roosevelt will likely be unable to accept either of the invitations Batten has forwarded because of his already full schedule.
