Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George Otto Trevelyan

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George Otto Trevelyan

President Roosevelt sends George Otto Trevelyan a copy of his message to Congress, and speaks of some of the accomplishments of his administration in improving the financial situation of the United States government. Roosevelt would be pleased to visit Trevelyan when he comes to England. He heartily approves of Trevelyan’s speech, and has shared it with Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and Anna Cabot Mills Lodge. Roosevelt discusses his preferences for translations of classical works, and finds himself in agreement with Trevelyan in many respects. He relates a story of a recent encounter he had with Simon Bolivar Buckner at the White House, and closes by mentioning a number of other men who were named after famous historical personages.

Letter from George Otto Trevelyan to Theodore Roosevelt

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.
