Letter from Harry Thurston Peck to Frank Harper

Letter from Harry Thurston Peck to Frank Harper

Harry Thurston Peck attempts to answer Frank Harper’s question regarding Henry W. Fischer’s book, Private Lives of William II and His Consort as best he can. Peck briefly looked over the manuscript, but does not know why Fisher included Theodore Roosevelt’s name or an alleged letter from Peck in his book. He suggests trying to contact H. J. Wright of the New York Globe in order to get contact information for Fischer, but is of the opinion that “Fischer is really too unimportant to notice.”
