Morse, John T., Jr. (John Torrey), 1840-1937

Kermit Roosevelt updates President Roosevelt on what he has been reading, stating that Abraham Lincoln by John Torrey Morse is both “uninterestingly written” and “prejudiced against Lincoln.” Therefore, he plans to read the novel The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer by Charles James Lever, a writer whose work he remembers his father not liking very much. Kermit also discusses his exercise regimen, which has included snowshoeing when the weather permitted as well as running when it has not.
