Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Wingate Sewall

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Wingate Sewall

President Roosevelt thanks William Wingate Sewall for the letter, and is looking forward to visiting him in Maine sometime. Roosevelt hopes that his wife, Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, will be better soon once the strain of being in the presidency has passed. Roosevelt says that personally, he has greatly enjoyed his time as president, and if he had listened only to his own wishes, he would be delighted to stay president. Because Roosevelt gave his word, however, he believes he must keep it. He also mentions that while he believes in a strong presidency, he also believes it is not good for one person to hold the office for too long.

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge comments on the speech that he gave at the Republican National Convention in Chicago. Lodge says that if he wanted to encompass all the things that President Roosevelt had done in office he would have had to speak for hours, and so instead chose to focus on what he sees as Roosevelt’s largest accomplishment: restoring the public trust in government through equal enforcement of the law. Lodge hopes that Roosevelt knows that it was a personal sacrifice to have to be the one to usher Roosevelt out of the White House, even though they both believe that it is the right thing to do. Lodge’s nerves were rattled after the convention, but the trip he is on is helping to restore them.
