Letter from Ernest Hamlin Abbott to Theodore Roosevelt

Ernest Hamlin Abbott, editor of The Outlook, compares the Abbott family to the Republican Party in that both “can present a united front . . . but still be torn with internal strife.” Abbott has already shown President Roosevelt’s letter to his brother Lawrence F. Abbott, and will try to show it to his father, Lyman Abbott, when he returns from a trip. He jokes that “it will be useless for [him] to try to induce Lyman Abbott, 2nd,” Lawrence F. Abbott’s newborn son, to read Roosevelt’s letter. Ernest Hamlin Abbott and his brother Lawrence Abbott “like immensely” Roosevelt’s Provincetown speech and feel it will positively impact national views on controlling corporations.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lawrence F. Abbott

President Roosevelt cheers Winifred Buck Abbott for the birth of her son, Lyman Abbott. He comments that “[t]he pains of childbirth render all men the debtors of all women” and ranks mothers above solders. Roosevelt tells Lawrence F. Abbott that he regrets getting involved in the nature faker controversy, but explains that he finds it difficult to avoid work outside of the Presidency. He felt compelled to review poet Edwin Arlington Robinson for The Outlook because Robinson “merited more consideration” and to condemn naturalist William J. Long because “he is so impudent and so shameless an imposter.” Roosevelt encloses clippings of other’s opinions on Long.
