Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

President Roosevelt encloses a letter from the Acting Secretary of the Treasury Horace Adolphus Taylor which shows that Robert B. Armstrong was right about a decision having precedent. Roosevelt has written the Treasury Department asking them to reverse their action. Roosevelt regrets William H. Moody was not appointed Senator after John L. Bates left his seat, although Winthrop Murray Crane is also a good choice. Moody updated Roosevelt on his stump work, where Indiana feels confident and New York has seen an upturn. He describes the Democratic campaign as “pure slander.” Roosevelt hopes Lodge will be nice to Father John C. York, an Oyster Bay area Catholic priest, next time he comes to New York, as York thinks Lodge is anti-Catholic.

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge and William Sturgis Bigelow have recovered the coin that President Roosevelt sent. Lodge thinks it is a great success.

Mann as Deputy Surveyor and feels that he should be able to choose the man to fill the position because he worked for William H. Taft. Lodge discusses the election and says that he wants Charles Evans Hughes to be elected New York governor. He believes that the situation for Republicans is good, both nationally and in Massachusetts.

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge thanks President Roosevelt for looking into the matter of a picture frame for him, but believes that the answer Roosevelt gave is slightly off base with regard to duties placed on the frame, as it is being brought in for a museum, which has traditionally been free from duty payments. The duty was assessed in Vermont, and not in Boston, so Lodge believes that the Department of the Treasury was somewhat disingenuous in placing the blame on George H. Lyman, who is Collector of Customs at Boston. Lodge has heard that the political situation in New York has improved, and believes that the Democrats will not be able to defeat Roosevelt in any northern state.

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge expresses his concern for Vice President Roosevelt in the wake of William McKinley’s near-assassination and hopes that Roosevelt will write him “at once” to assure Lodge of his well being. Lodge talks about a clipping that speaks of Roosevelt in French. Lodge also mentions that George H. Lyman is “here” and worrying about Roosevelt as well. Lodge recounts a story “because it tickled my vanity” of a conversation between Lyman and a German, about Lodge and whether he might not be Secretary of State when Roosevelt was President, and whether Lyman and Lodge would not be dangerous to German interests. The German thought Roosevelt must be dangerous because he had killed 1800 “mountain cats” last winter.
