Letter from Maurice Francis Egan to Theodore Roosevelt
Maurice Francis Egan notifies Theodore Roosevelt that he sent condolences to Frederick VII, King of Denmark and Queen Consort Louise of Sweden on the occasion of the death of Prince Johann of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg Glücksburg. Egan notes he lived close to Prince Johann prior to his death, and Egan said right before he left to return to the United States, Prince Johann asked him to send Roosevelt his regards. Egan states he wrote Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt. He touches on topics of the United States Navy and the movement of ships. The Russians, according to Egan are flattered that a fleet of ships went to Kronstadt, and he has a couple of friends close to Nicholas II, Emperor of Russia. Egan mentions his pride that Andreas du Plessis de Richelieu is among his friends, and he had a dinner with him recently.
