Letter from Francis Davis Millet to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt

Letter from Francis Davis Millet to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt

Francis Davis Millet criticizes the design of a medal of George Washington discussed in a newspaper clipping he has enclosed, saying that it fails to capture Washington’s noble characteristics. Millet stresses the importance of a medallist’s duty to capture a President’s features, as a medal will survive after all other forms of art have disappeared. He hopes that Theodore Roosevelt will have a medal that will “hold its own.” He also sends a set of eight medals struck by the French mint as examples of what he means by “nobility in a medal.”

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Sturgis Bigelow

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Sturgis Bigelow

President Roosevelt tells William Sturgis Bigelow that he is glad to hear about the coins, and thinks that the pictures that Bigelow mentioned would be something that people would “make a great yell about.” He suggests that Bigelow make a request that the United States permit the introduction, which would let Secretary of State Elihu Root see if it is possible to do anything. Roosevelt promises to do what he can to arrange for an interchange of professors between the United States and Japan.
