Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edward North Buxton

Theodore Roosevelt admits to Edward Norton Buxton that he never expected to win the election, but wanted to beat the Republicans, which he did. He does not want another position of prominence, but will continue to fight for Progressive principles. While he will miss British Ambassador to the United States, James Bryce, he looks forward to Cecil Spring Rice becoming ambassador. He hopes that the war in the Balkans will push Turkey out of Europe.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edward North Buxton

President Roosevelt asks Edward North Buxton for clarification about hunting guns and safari guides. Roosevelt would likely avoid hunting in the reserves, as the idea bothers him, and he would also like to avoid all press coverage and fanfare while out on Alfred E. Pease’s ranch. He enjoys hearing of Edward North Buxton and Emily Digby Buxton’s life together, and writes that he and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt have spent time over the summer taking rides and going out on the water, while Ted Roosevelt gets ready to go into business. In a postscript, Roosevelt writes that he would like to avoid the reserves completely, but wonders if it would be possible to hunt one or two potentially restricted specimens outside the reserve, for the National Museum.

Letter from Edward North Buxton to Theodore Roosevelt

Edward North Buxton informs President Roosevelt that he is giving some of his best hunting trophies to the Norwich Museum where he feels they will be “finely housed.” One of the items to be donated is a white goat’s head that Roosevelt shot, so Buxton wanted Roosevelt to know of the donation. Buxton wishes the Roosevelts a very happy Christmas and a New Year filled with success in accomplishing the President’s “high ideals.”
