Lodge, Anna Cabot Mills Davis, 1851-1915

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

President Roosevelt describes to Senator Lodge the difficulties he has had in negotiating the composition of the commission to examine the Anthracite Coal Strike. The mine operators did not want a representative of labor included. Roosevelt discovered the importance of labeling and perception, however, in that they would protest his appointment of Bishop John Lancaster Spalding as “eminent sociologist” and the addition of a representative of labor, yet they would happily accept the representative of labor being labeled an “eminent sociologist” and the addition of Bishop Spalding.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles and William S. Cowles

Theodore Roosevelt is concerned about Anna Roosevelt Cowles’s rheumatism. He is pleased that she has made the decision to come home, believing that she is more comfortable in her own house. Roosevelt is glad that George Payne McLean defeated Morgan G. Bulkeley in the Connecticut race for United States Senate, but he wishes that either man were more like Joseph W. Alsop. Roosevelt is happy that his Christmas gifts, zebra-skin rugs, have been received well. He also gave one to Corinne Roosevelt Robinson and one to Nannie Lodge, and says they are better than any trophies he brought back from his safari.
