Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Douglas William Freshfield

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Douglas William Freshfield

Theodore Roosevelt thanks Douglas William Freshfield for the clippings regarding Arnold Henry Savage Landor. Roosevelt understands how Landor can fool “ignorant outsiders” but finds Landor’s assertions to be reckless and obviously false. He compares Landor to the Tichborne claimant. Some of Roosevelt’s Brazilian companions were familiar with Landor and described him as “self-indulgent and rather lazy.”
