They include letters written from Roosevelt during his days with the Rough Riders and letters from his African expedition of 1909-10. Other topics include the Alaska Boundary Tribunal, the Panama Canal, the Colombia Treaty, President Woodrow Wilson and his administration, World War I, and national politics, in particular the elections of 1908 and 1916, and the Republican, Democratic, and Progressive Parties. The collection also includes the edited manuscript of Selections from the Correspondence of Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge (1925) which included approximately half of the correspondence. Letters 1919-24 were primarily exchanged between Lodge and Roosevelt's widow, Edith Kermit Roosevelt, and pertain to the publication of the correspondence.
