Letter form Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter form Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge tells President Roosevelt that Herbert H. D. Peirce is having financial troubles, and would like an appointment somewhere in South America. Lodge also discusses a recent law in Newfoundland that he feels goes too far in discriminating against Americans after the United States did not accept the terms of a treaty as requested. Lodge would like Roosevelt personally to investigate the matter, because he fears that Secretary of State John Hay is too sympathetic to Newfoundland. Finally, Lodge praises Roosevelt’s speech before the Texas legislature and hopes that he has a good hunting trip in the mountains.
