Roosevelt, Archibald B. (Archibald Bulloch), 1894-1979

Theodore Roosevelt agrees with Robert Henry Munro Ferguson that David Goodrich should leave New York for New Mexico and has told him so. Roosevelt was amused with Isabella Ferguson’s reaction to the Folk meeting, and denies having any idea about the letters Folk referred to. He was pleased that Robert Ferguson liked what he wrote about treaties, and received similar praise from London National Review editor Leopold James Maxse. Roosevelt does not wish to be nominated for president and discourages the idea, but does not feel he could turn down a genuine popular movement. He hopes to travel south in the summer of 1912 with his son, Archibald B. Roosevelt, and will try to see Ferguson at that time.
