Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge
Theodore Roosevelt has just seen Henry Cabot Lodge’s speech at Union College, and thinks the speech was in Lodge’s best style. Roosevelt spoke “pretty straight” in San Francisco, and he hopes Lodge read his article in the current Metropolitan. Roosevelt thinks Lodge’s other two commencement speeches are in a completely different style that deals with things concerning time and not just the moment. Roosevelt thinks the former style is just as admirable as the latter, and he is glad to have a figure who can make such addresses in public life.
