William Sturgis Bigelow tells President Roosevelt about the visit he had from the Lodge family, who have now departed. Anna Cabot Mills Lodge enjoyed the peace and quiet, but spent some time visiting George A. James, Henry Cabot Lodge’s recently widowed brother-in-law. Senator Lodge appeared invigorated by his success at the Republican National Convention in Chicago, and greatly enjoyed seeing all the newspaper reports praising him. Bigelow wishes that Lodge could continue to be somewhat more relaxed while he is in Europe, but thinks that Lodge is too much like Roosevelt in needing, and loving, to work. Bigelow describes some of the features of the island he is at, particularly the birds and june-bugs. He has heard that Roosevelt is enjoying Irish literature currently, and offers to send him a related encyclopedia.
