Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick W. Whitridge

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick W. Whitridge

President Roosevelt tells railroad owner Frederick W. Whitridge that he has sent Whitridge’s previous letter, in which he offered to help circulate speeches by Secretary of State John Hay and former Secretary of War Elihu Root, to Republican strategist and Columbia University President Nicholas Murray Butler, with whom Roosevelt will consider the offer. Roosevelt reflects on Whitridge’s statement that Roosevelt’s reelection is near-certain by guessing that the Democratic Party might nominate someone similar to Roosevelt, such as U. S. Court of Appeals Judge George Gray, who had been appointed by McKinley. Roosevelt wishes Whitridge luck on his upcoming grouse hunt.

Letter from George Otto Trevelyan to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from George Otto Trevelyan to Theodore Roosevelt

George Otto Trevelyan believes that President Roosevelt must be happier with the results of the United States election than he was in 1865 when he was first elected to Parliament. He thinks Roosevelt’s trip to Africa is a “splendid idea” and hopes that Roosevelt will visit in 1910 when he is in England. Trevelyan discusses his current writing projects, and notes that he thinks it is easier to get a literal sense of the tragic poets when they are translated in prose, rather than verse. Trevelyan will enclose a copy of a speech he gave at a publishers’ dinner.
