Letter from Ripley Hitchcock to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Ripley Hitchcock to Theodore Roosevelt

Ripley Hitchcock, editor at Harper & Brothers, notifies President Roosevelt that his articles on hunting that had been published in Harper’s Round Table magazine have been combined into a book called Good Hunting. Hitchcock says the publishers have followed all of Roosevelt’s requests, and expresses his hope that Roosevelt will be pleased. Hitchcock also notes that they are publishing Sampson Rock of Wall Street by Edwin Lefevre, which he believes Roosevelt will be interested to hear. Hitchcock says he will be in Washington, D.C., in upcoming weeks and hopes they can meet then and discuss more literary matters.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Harry Johnston

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Harry Johnston

President Roosevelt tells Harry Johnston that he does not believe that the United States will intervene in Haiti, although he thinks that it ought to. Roosevelt does not like to act unless he can get the support of the American population behind him. In many cases in Central America and the Antilles, it either took a long time for the population to embrace interference or they never became interested. Roosevelt would have liked the United States to act in Venezuela, Central America, and Haiti, but says that people are “not merely blind, but often malevolently blind, to what goes on.” Roosevelt is pleased that Johnston’s impressions of New York are going to be published, and hopes that his thoughts on the Southern United States are likewise published.

Letter from Frank Hall Scott to Theodore Roosevelt

The Century Company would like to publish a special volume of President Roosevelt’s writings for young people. Frank Hall Scott, the company’s president, notes that they will happily arrange the royalty fees to Roosevelt’s satisfaction. Two other publishers have released similar volumes of Roosevelt’s works, and Scott suggests that those prior deals might inform the price for this project.
