THEODORE ROOSEVELT

SIR,—The Massachusetts Institute of Technology are preparing for publication a complete edition of the letters of Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, at the beginning of the century. On their behalf I am trying to trace the whereabouts of all Roosevelt's letters to people in this country. Among those to whom he wrote are Moreton Frewen, M.P., Sir William Laird Clowes, Sir Julian Pauncefote, Col. G. F. R. Henderson, Rudyard Kipling, James Bryce, Sir Cecil Spring- Rice, St. Loe Strachey, Earl Grey of Falloden and John Morley. There may be others. I should be most grateful for any information that your readers can give me as to the whereabouts of these letters.—Yours,
