Letter from George Otto Trevelyan to Theodore Roosevelt
George Otto Trevelyan believes that President Roosevelt must be happier with the results of the United States election than he was in 1865 when he was first elected to Parliament. He thinks Roosevelt’s trip to Africa is a “splendid idea” and hopes that Roosevelt will visit in 1910 when he is in England. Trevelyan discusses his current writing projects, and notes that he thinks it is easier to get a literal sense of the tragic poets when they are translated in prose, rather than verse. Trevelyan will enclose a copy of a speech he gave at a publishers’ dinner.
