Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Jeffrey Roche

President Roosevelt likes the letter from James Jeffrey Roche and his comments on the Storer incident. He appreciates having a “literary man” in consular service. Roosevelt is pleased that Roche liked his article on the Sagas and suggests that old Irish tales could benefit from the work of an expert translator, such as Edward FitzGerald, as they can be difficult to read.

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 Theodore Roosevelt to George Otto Trevelyan

President Roosevelt sends his sympathy to George Otto Trevelyan upon the death of his sister, Viscountess Margaret Jean Trevelyan Knutsford. He thanks him for clarifying why many Englishmen distrust former Prime Minister James Arthur Balfour and discusses corruption and military armament. The foreign affairs regarding Newfoundland fishery regulations and civil unrest in Cuba prove frustrating. Roosevelt shares these frustrations with Trevelyan for “the fact that I have to blow off steam.”
