Dear Cabot,
I have just read through your
"Boston.” It is certainly an excel
lent piece of work. It la one of
which I think you have legitimate
reason to feel proud. You do not
want to do any more booklets, of
course, any more than I do. But
this particular booklet will be a
credit to you. I think you have
every right to feel fully satisfied
with it, and as regards style, it is as
good as anything that you have done
Give my best love to Nannie.
Ever yours,

P. S. By the way. isn’t your use of

Dear Cabot:
Springy has been paying your "Bos
ton" an evidently sincere meed of
praise by reading it all through in
two days, from beginning to end; he
considers it very interesting and called
my attention to various points as he
read. Sensible, appreciative boy.
Springy—very.
I am glad Hayes advised you not
tn run for governor. You don’t wish
that position. Washington is your
place; and let it get abroad quietly,
that you are to make the run for
United States senator.
Now, for a piece of social news,
which will he of Interest to Nannie,
as she ought to know of the more
noted entertainments in high diplo
matic and administrative circles. On
Wednesday and Thursday evening of
this week I gave two dinners, assisted
by Springy, with nice colored Millie
as cook and waitress. First dinner.
Guests, the British Minister and the
secretary of war* Bill of fare, crabs,
chicken and rice, cherries, claret and
tea. (Neither guest died; and I think
Proctor, who is a good native Ameri
can, hungered for pie. in addition.)
Springy nervous and fidgety; I with
my best air of oriental courtesy, and
a tendency to orate only held in check
by the memory of the Jeers of my
wife and intimate friend. Second din
ner. Guests, the secretary of the
navy*.* apd the British minister.•••
who was *)aboriously polite and good
but somewhat heavy in grappling
with the novelty of the situation. Bill
of fare .chops and rice, pate de fols
gras, raspberries, claret and tea.
(Guests still survive.) Springy still
nervous. Tracy in great form, very
amusing and entertaining.
I’ll bet they were dinners new to
Sir Julian’s experience, but both the
secretaries enjoyed them.

Dear C'abot:
I have been thinking over your re
quest for me to speak in Massachu
setts this fall.
I do not think I ought to go. I
think it would be merely frittering
away what I may.be able to accom
plish by speaking in Massachusetts in
the congressional and presidential con
test a year hence. This year there Is
nothing particular to he gained, as
far rs I can see, by my appearance.
You are not running, and there is no
president in question and no congress;
and I would certainly weaken what
ever effect would he produced by ap
pearing next year.
Remember, that when I speak 1
have got to make up my mind that
unfavorable comment upon me, and
therefore upon the commission, Will
follow, and I have to weaken myself
a certain amount, with the already
overwhelming good democratic ma
jority in the next house. I am per
fectly willing to do this for an ob
ject, but it does not seem worth while
doing it unless there is an object. Of
course, if you make a dead point of
it, I will come. Meanwhile, cannot you
come down to Oyster Bay between
the 13th and 19th? That will be polo

I'NITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE
COMMISSION *
June 29. 1S91.
Dear old Cabot.
Your letter made me feel really
downhearted. You have certainly
been treated with the basest ingrati
tude* by what ought to be. hut em
phatically Is not,
the best element
in the commun
ity. You have
had a moat hon
orable and sue
-essful oareer In
the house; at the
worst I would
take one nr two
terms more
therein: and if
you are eleclcd
in the senate,
you draw one of
tlie great prizes
of American poli
ties. In your
position it was absolutely inevitable
for you to he bitterly attacked by the
Harvard college “educated" crowd.
They have been all wrong for the
last seven years: and they were hound
in order in justify themselves to as
sail the hest men who took the op
posite view.
This attitude Is radically false. Take
what is happening now, for Instance.
They hate, or profess to hate, Tam
many above all other things; yet
Tammany Is recognized as the corner
stone of the northern democrats ev
erywhere outside of New Etfgland,
and the three “reform" candidates for
speaker. Mills. Crisp, and MacMillan,
are all to appear before Tammany on
duly 4th, to try for favors! Yet the
Mugwump papers will have no com
ment on this, no explanation as to
what it really means, no exposure ns
to the attltued of the Speakership
candidates whom they have extolled
as the apostles of purity.
As for their praise of me, it is I
ant sorry to say a measure and sign
of the fact that my career is over,
and (hat though, as I firmly believe,
I have done a good work—the best
work I could do—yet that In doing it
I have spent and exhausted my in
fluence with the party and country.
I am at the end of my career, such
as It is; you may he at the beginning
of yours, and you have already had a
most honorable one.
My task for the past two years has
been simple. I have only had to bat
tle for a good law; ami though this
meant drawing on me the bitter ani
mosities of the men who in New
York, st least, oonfrol politics, it was
easy to perform creditably, and of
fered nn obstacles In the way of be
ing misunderstood or misrepresented
by men of standing and intelligence.
A much harder, and much greater,'
task Is the work of an organization,
of a party in congress. Had I been
In congress I should now he as bit
terly assailed as you. I often have a
regret that I am not in with you,
Heed, and others In doing the Teal
work, the work that is not too much
in advance of the people—though I
rtnns wish to be understood as regret
ting what I have heen working at:
i n th" contrary I ant proud of It.
Always yours,

’Dear Cabot:
Yesterday Springy and I moved
over to 1721.*where we are Just as
comfortable as possible, and are ex
cellently taken care of by nice black
Martha; and we think very gratefully
of our absent host and hostess.
When we went to bed last night
Springy performed a delicious feat.
We went upstairs in the dark, and
did not light the gas. I turned Into
my room: and noticed that, as I un
dressed, I did not hear anything of
Springy- Soon, however. 1 heard my
name called from the flight above;
and then followed demands to know
where I was and where he was, and
and where our bedrooms were; and
when I had answered these questions
and lit the light Springy came pad
dling downstairs dressed a la Lady
Oodiva, with his clothes, shoes, etc.,
•clasped In his arms. He had dream
ily walked up one extra flight, un
dressed and started to get into hed
when It occurred to him gf odd thati
the hed had no sheets.
He couldn't find any matches, and
began to feel that there was a mys
tery' somewhere; and so he became
vocal, and when I answered him front
below he at first felt as If I had gone
down to live in the cellar.
AVc saw the president today, about
some changes In the rules. Having
promulgated the Indiana.rules, he will
do nothing else, and will pot even
consider changes to which there Is no
opposition, and which would merely
simplify and expedite business
(throughout the Interview he was, of
course, as disagreeable and suspicious
of manner as well might be).

homesick for Oyster Bay, and ns there

I shall soon go bark to it. I do not
object In the least to staying here to
work just as hard as can possibly be,
but when there Is nothing to be done,
literally, then I hate to stay. How
ever. 1 am getting off most of my re
port—my annual report—and my Bal
timore report Is pretty nearly ready.
In fact, all the work that can be done
has been done. If the president would
only act a little differently there is a

and which I should very much like to
do. However, I cannot complain.
Best love to Nannie.
Yours very cordially,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
P. S. The president actually refuses
to consider the changes in the rujes
which are necessary to enable us to
do our work effectively. He has never
given us one ounce of real backing.
He won't even see us. or consider any
method for improving the service,
even when it in no way touches a
politician. It Is horribly dishearten
ing to work under such a chief. How
ever, the very fact that he takes so
little Interest gives me a free hand to
do some things; and I know well that
In life one must do the best one can
with the implements at hand, and not
bemoan the lack of ideal ones.
