Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Whitelaw Reid responds to a letter from Theodore Roosevelt. He is writing from Southern California where he is vacationing. Reid speculates about the identity of the anonymous author of a political pamphlet who simply goes by “A Spectator.” He was flattered that his name had been suggested, and while he had thought it might have been Henry Adams or Henry Cabot Lodge, he has concluded it must have been John Bigelow. Reid also comments on the strong support for President Roosevelt in California and throughout the west. He discusses books he has been reading, including volume 4 of Roosevelt’s The Winning of the West.
