Letter from Lawrence F. Abbott to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Lawrence F. Abbott to Theodore Roosevelt

Lawrence F. Abbott thinks it is interesting that colleges, which are so strong in their teaching of science, can be so weak in their teaching of literature and journalism. He asks if President Roosevelt knows whether he will be attending an editorial conference on March 10 or March 17, as his father, Lyman Abbott, will be out of the country for a time but wishes to return to attend the same session as Roosevelt.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Leslie J. Tarlton

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Leslie J. Tarlton

Theodore Roosevelt tells Leslie J. Tarlton that D. T. Abercrombie will attend to the cartridges and send him some from Tritton. Tarlton is to let Roosevelt know if they are satisfactory, as he experienced some issues with the Holland and Springfield cartridges on his African trip. Roosevelt has just written to Kermit who is at Harvard and will be interested to know what Karitura’s language was. He believes Kermit is homesick but growing up at Harvard. They speak often of the Africa trip, and Roosevelt would like to face another big-maned lion. He is irritated with William Bailey Howland for not going to England as it was fair to no one. Roosevelt sympathizes with Tarlton for having so many shooting parties to attend at once.

Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to Paul Underwood Kellogg

Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to Paul Underwood Kellogg

Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary explains to Paul Underwood Kellogg that, due to all of the work Roosevelt has to catch up on after his trip to the West, he has not yet had an opportunity to reply to Kellogg’s letter of April 5 concerning the decision of the New York Court of Appeals. Roosevelt may indeed write an article similar to the one Kellogg suggested, and Roosevelt’s secretary recommends that Kellogg write to William Bailey Howland at The Outlook to see if he might obtain an advance copy.

President Roosevelt requests asks Ambassador White to provide context to the foreign office regarding William Howe Tolman’s request.

However, Roosevelt believes this request is wholly inappropriate and objects to the conferment on the grounds that it will hinder his ability to publish anything about France.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lawrence F. Abbott

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lawrence F. Abbott

President Roosevelt has considered Lawrence F. Abbott’s letter in which he proposed a business deal, and is pleased to accept. Roosevelt liked the proposition in the letter better than the conversation that they had previously, as the letter did not specify the number of articles he would produce per year. He will try to write more than twelve per year, but likes the fact that he does not have the pressure to write articles simply for the reason of having something to publish. Roosevelt does not think the deal should be announced until after the election. He asks if Abbott and William Bailey Howland could come have lunch with him on July 25.
