Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Norman Hapgood
President Roosevelt agrees to write about British novelist George Meredith for his eightieth birthday. Roosevelt requests that Norman Hapgood let him know who should be addressed in the letter. He also asks if Hapgood likes the double eagle coin. While designer Augustus Saint-Gaudens preferred the single eagle coin, Roosevelt believes the double eagle is superior.
