Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to LeRoy Bisbee

Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to LeRoy Bisbee

On behalf of Theodore Roosevelt, his secretary informs LeRoy Bisbee that he is unsure which edition of Roosevelt’s works Sir Harry Johnson referred to, noting that both P. F. Collier and the Review of Reviews have published editions. He recommends consulting The Brooklyn Daily Eagle or The New York Times for reports of Roosevelt’s Decoration Day speech and states he cannot identify the Pilgrim and Puritan speech without further details.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Mark Sullivan

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Mark Sullivan

President Roosevelt has received Collier’s Weekly journalist Mark Sullivan’s letter and encloses a copy of his letter responding to Henry T. Rodman and his article about Roosevelt. Roosevelt says that the value of an article like Rodman’s comes from people understanding that he took no part in writing it. To publish the article alongside Roosevelt’s letter would create the impression that Roosevelt had a role in the creation of the article. He does like the idea of Henry Beach Needham’s article and looks forward to seeing Sullivan and his wife, Marie McMechen Buchanan Sullivan, at the Army and Navy reception.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Nicholas Murray Butler

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Nicholas Murray Butler

President Roosevelt wishes for Nicholas Murray Butler to visit and concurs that William J. Calhoun is worthy of esteem. Roosevelt comments at length on an article in Collier’s Weekly, one he assumes was written by Norman Hapgood, and desires Butler to “know the exact facts.” On careful reading, Roosevelt believes the article was written with malicious intent due to its numerous falsehoods regarding the construction projects at the Capitol and the White House, the hiring of the architects completing these jobs, appointments of others to government posts, and other matters. In his explanation, Roosevelt makes analogies to many political situations, past and present.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Albert Shaw

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Albert Shaw

President Roosevelt had a friendly meeting with George Putnam, who reminded Roosevelt of his request to print presidential speeches. Roosevelt had previously turned Putnam down claiming he did not want the speeches published. However, Putnam might need to be brought into the arrangement since it would be awkward if Collier’s starting printing the speeches.

Letter from Richard Harding Davis to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Richard Harding Davis to Theodore Roosevelt

Richard Harding Davis and his wife Cecil Clark Davis are settled in Tokyo like it is home. Davis’ contract with Collier’s Weekly was only for three months, but he does not want to return home without seeing the front lines of the Russo-Japanese War. Davis complains that the newspaper correspondents have been treated poorly by the Japanese authorities who have restricted their access to the front, read their private correspondence and had them spied upon. As an example of the unfair treatment they have been subjected to, Davis recounts the story of Jack London who has been arrested and tried by court martial after getting into a physical altercation with a servant who was caught stealing correspondents’ supplies. Davis knows that President Roosevelt likes to hear of United States representatives abroad, and praises the work of LLoyd Carpenter Griscom, Charles Carlton Marsh, and James Wheeler Davidson.
