Letter from William Lawrence to Theodore Roosevelt
William Lawrence thinks that President Roosevelt did a great and honorable thing in refusing to be nominated for a third presidential term, and recalls an earlier remark by Roosevelt about wishing that President-Elect William H. Taft would be elected president in 1909. Lawrence asks if Roosevelt has read the book Eighteen Years in Uganda and East Africa in his preparations for his upcoming African safari. If he has not, Lawrence would like to make a gift of it to him. Lawrence hopes to visit Roosevelt at the White House one more time before he leaves office.
