Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Ellen Velvin

President Roosevelt tells Ellen Velvin that Robert Sterling Yard and his publishing firm of Moffat, Yard & Company “behaved with the greatest magnanimity about your book.” He provides further detail as to why he did not care for Sir Henry C. Burdett’s suggestion, as it seemed like “he merely wanted some one else to do something that he regarded as good and which he did not do himself.”

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Robert Bridges

President Roosevelt says that the enclosed letter from Henry C. Burdett is from a “prize fool,” and he has no recollection of him. He feels badly that there does not seem to be anything that can be done for the author Ellen Velvin. He would like Robert Bridges to look into the matter to see if she is truly being “fleeced” by a certain publishing firm.
