Seven typescript letters signed and one autograph letter signed (1916 November 13); some typescripts have autograph edits. Letters are addressed to Walter W. Strong, mostly in Chicago, who is referred to in one as Chairman, Progressive County Central Committee of Du Page County (Illinois). The letters concern Progressive Party politics and the 1912 platform, Roosevelt's opinions on being an American and on William Jennings Bryan, who he refers to as "a good-hearted man of precisely the temperament best fitted to make a success as 'barker' for patent medicine" (1916 December 15). Some are written on letterhead for The Outlook magazine or Metropolitan magazine; most letters have addressed envelopes. Dates of letters: 1911 May 11, 1912 November 22, 1913 January 30, 1915 December 31, 1916 April 15, 1916 November 13, 1916 December 15, 1917 January 26.
