Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to H. Rider Haggard

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to H. Rider Haggard

Theodore Roosevelt compliments the author H. Rider Haggard on his book Rural Denmark and draws comparisons to the movement of Americans to towns instead of the country. He also ties in the Boers and English settling East Africa. Roosevelt says he tried as President and still tries to teach “lessons that ought to be learned by my fellow countrymen” and he is horrified at the amount of “dull and uninteresting” writings out there.

Letter from Edward L. Morse to Lyman Abbott

Letter from Edward L. Morse to Lyman Abbott

Edward L. Morse suggests to Lyman Abbott that an authority presents the other side of the race suicide question. While he agrees that some people with resources to support families are “criminally negligent,” he is concerned about overpopulation. He discusses how social systems of marriage adapt to the environmental circumstances and proposes that limited families may be part of the “increasing complexity of modern life.”
