Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

President Roosevelt affirms that the letter that Osborne Howes published, which was allegedly from Senator Lodge to the late Secretary of State John Hay, was “an impudent forgery.” Lodge’s answer to Howe regarding the correspondence is “true in every detail.” In each letter to Hay, Lodge qualified his promise of support for the fishing treaty by saying he would only support it if the treaty was satisfactory to Gloucester.

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge discusses a number of topics regarding the late Secretary of State John Hay. Lodge bemoans the editing of a publication of Hay’s letters, claiming that Hay was “one of the best if not the best letter writer of his time,” but the publication does not do him justice. He reminisces on the many men of letters he has known in his life, and believes that Hay was the most “brilliant, humorous, sympathetic, [and] witty” among them. Lodge holds more criticism for Hay in his role as a secretary of state, discussing how Hay bungled multiple treaties, took credit for accomplishments that were not his own, and formed poor relations with the Senate.
