Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Ronald Craufurd Munro Ferguson

President Roosevelt enjoyed Ronald Craufurd Munro Ferguson’s letter about politics to his wife Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt. He is sorry to hear that Lady Dorothy Grey is in bad health, as he has heard good things about her husband. Roosevelt’s daughter Alice Roosevelt Longworth’s wedding went well. Edith is taking a few days on the yacht Sylph to rest and recover, while Roosevelt has his hands full “with the incidents usual to the workings of representative governments under free institutions.”

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Reid informs President Roosevelt he has heard from Sirdar F. R. Wingate, who is gathering information for Roosevelt regarding his African trip. Believing it will amuse Roosevelt, Reid shares “the queer transmutations” that the third modus vivendi on the Newfoundland fisheries underwent. Roosevelt’s perplexity about journalist Edward Dicey amuses Reid, who shares the same opinion of him. Reid details the seeming ill-luck of British statesmen and their families. Ogden Mills Reid, Reid’s son, plans to return to the United States to participate in the presidential election.
