FINDS 5000 LETTERS.
Col. Roosevelt Has Huge Task
Ahead of Himself.

New York, June 20.-Between seeing
his son married and visiting his publishers
and sizing up the work on his desk at
the Outlook Office. Col. Roosevelt put
in busy day. He got up early to do
it all, too. for it was hardly O'Clock
when he boarded the government yacht
Dolphin at Oyster Bay for the trip to
the city with Secretary of the Navy
Meyer.
The Secretary broke a city ordinance
by firing a salute of twenty-one guns, TO
let New York know Mr.. Roosevelt was
coming when the Dolphin drew abreast
Of the landing at the foot Of East Twen-
ty-fourth street. The ordinance which
the enthusiastic Secretary broke forbids
the firing of salutes OF Bellevue Hospi-
tai.
When he got ashore Col. Roosevelt
hurried over TO the Outlook office. where
he greeted DR., Lyman Abbott and looked
over his correspondence. After an hour
Col. Roosevelt walked down to Scrib-
ners. and talked over his forthcoming
book.
One Of the biggest jobs which Col.
Roosevelt found himself confronted with
when he reached the Outlook Office was
the looking over Of nearly 5000 letters.
It looked as though almost every one
with a spare hour had taken pen in
hand 10 write to the former President.
Col Roosevelt will not attempt to look
them all over himself and he said that
while he would like 10 read every one
himself and did not doubt that many
old friends were numbered among the
writer's, yet he hoped the people would
understand that it would be a kindness
for Well-dispOsed strangers TO refrain
from writing or sending telegrams tC
him.

II one should think that 500 was rather

may be consolation in the fact that Mrs.
