Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lucie Fairbanks Webber McMillan

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lucie Fairbanks Webber McMillan

Theodore Roosevelt wishes that he could have been with Lucie McMillan in Africa, if Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt would have accompanied him on the journey. Roosevelt fears he will not make another trip to Africa because his wife will not go and, if she did, she would be “quite needlessly” fearful for his safety while he was out hunting lions. Roosevelt congratulates McMillan on obtaining a rhino with twenty-inch horns and expresses his sympathy concerning George Grey’s death. McMillan and her husband, William Northrup McMillan, are invited by both Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt to spend the night with them should they ever visit the area.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Leslie J. Tarlton

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Leslie J. Tarlton

Theodore Roosevelt apologizes for “bothering” Leslie J. Tarlton, but he is concerned by his most recent letter. He assumes Tarlton is better now and is glad to hear about V. M. Newland. Roosevelt grew attached to Tarlton, Newland, and their wives while in Africa and wants them to be healthy and happy. The news about Carl Ethan Akeley is also concerning, and Roosevelt wishes he would leave Uganda for his health. Working and hunting in Africa is dangerous, as evidenced by the death of George Grey and many other friends.

Letter from Earl Grey to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Earl Grey to Theodore Roosevelt

Earl Grey apologizes in having taken so long to return Alfred E. Pease’s account of the death of his brother, George Grey, but wished to wait until he could send Theodore Roosevelt a photograph of him which showed his character better than the studio portraits that are more common. When he next sees Roosevelt in person, he will share some stories of George Grey, which he is sure Roosevelt will enjoy.

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Reid advises Theodore Roosevelt to look for a tract by George Grey, the brother of British Foreign Secretary Edward Grey, with advise on how to avoid malaria in Africa. Reid also insists that both Edith and Roosevelt stay at his house when they are in England following his trip. He provides additional advise on where Roosevelt should stay during his trip through England. Reid has opted not to send Roosevelt clippings about his leaving office because he believes he is already inundated with them.
