Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

President Roosevelt thanks Senator Lodge for sending the piece from Baron F. A. Channing, which he will quote. It is apparent that Roosevelt’s Provincetown speech did not make matters worse, as the Sun, Times, and Evening Post had said it would. An expert has recently confirmed for Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt that only Grace Wilson Vanderbilt and Senator John Kean have comparable Madeira cellars. Roosevelt also includes a quote from Secretary of War William H. Taft praising Lodge’s speech.

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge thanks President Roosevelt for allowing the USS Constitution to remain in Boston and encourages Roosevelt not to send the ship to Annapolis. Lodge also informs Roosevelt that he supports his plan to send the fleet on a cruise in the Pacific, but he anticipates a significant debate about it. Lodge also replies to Roosevelt’s letter of September 4 and says that he is glad the president has such a high opinion of Senator John Kean’s wine cellar.
