Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lloyd Carpenter Griscom

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lloyd Carpenter Griscom

President Roosevelt asks Lloyd Carpenter Griscom, ambassador to Italy, to thank King Victor Emmanuel III for his invitation to go on a hunt after Roosevelt leaves the presidency. Roosevelt appreciates the offer both because of the kindness the king shows, as well as because of a personal desire to hunt an ibex. Roosevelt is somewhat nervous about hunting alongside as good a marksman as the king is said to be. Unfortunately, Roosevelt says, if he accepted he would then be obliged to visit many other capitals in Europe, and because of this does not feel like he could accept until he is able to go as purely a private citizen.

Letter from Lloyd Carpenter Griscom to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Lloyd Carpenter Griscom to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Griscom showed King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy the new $10 and $20 gold pieces President Roosevelt had minted. The King has an extensive coin collection, and loved the coins, but as an expert offered comments that the relief was too high, which will make them unrecognizable after a few years of use, as well as difficult to stack. He would like Roosevelt to visit Italy to shoot after his term is finished. Griscom has been shooting with the King and says he is a good shot.

Letter from Henry White to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry White to Theodore Roosevelt

Henry White received President Roosevelt’s letter but has waited until reaching Rome to answer it. White’s views on disarmament were sent in a confidential letter through the British Embassy’s dispatch bag. He has omitted any reference to Roosevelt’s observations about the German emperor although he has borrowed some of Roosevelt’s phraseology. White writes that Roosevelt’s action in Cuba was met with “universal admiration.” White saw the Chilean minister yesterday who said that Elihu Root’s visit there brought great comfort and was epoch making. Other topics in the letter include the German and Jesuit influence in the Vatican and the reputation of the emperor as an influencer, and White’s visit with the King of Italy and their discussion of new literacy-based immigration laws.
