Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Maurice Francis Egan
Theodore Roosevelt thanks Maurice Francis Egan for sending Arthur Hamilton Lee’s letter and comments that Mr. Smalley was the exiled American – an exile in “every sense of the word.” Roosevelt asks that Egan think about whether Egan’s response to Mr. Phillips’ letter would be “apt to hurt” Egan before he signs it; Roosevelt looks fondly upon Egan and would feel “exceedingly bad” if anything happened to interfere with Egan’s career.
