Letter from William Sturgis Bigelow to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William Sturgis Bigelow to Theodore Roosevelt

William Sturgis Bigelow sends to President Roosevelt six jiu jitsu jackets that he purchased in Tokyo. Bigelow expresses relief at being settled in a new home, especially since the Lodge brothers have taken care of moving the furniture while he was away. He invites Roosevelt to visit when he is next in town and paints a vivid picture of the Boston sights visible from his bathroom window. In a postscript, Bigelow notes that a verdict by Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis has “waked things up,” and in another, he remarks that the Lodges are doing well and that Anna Lodge’s health has improved.

Letter from Albert J. Beveridge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Albert J. Beveridge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Beveridge informs President Roosevelt that he has spoken with George Washington Cromer. Cromer reported that he had been approached by James Wolcott Wadsworth, who told him that Roosevelt “knew nothing about the bill” and “cared little.” Beveridge informed Cromer of Roosevelt’s letter, and Cromer “was amazed.” Beveridge suggests that in light of Wadsworth’s recent statements, perhaps Roosevelt should make his letter public that night.
