Background
The scion of the (Theodore Sr.) Roosevelt family must have had an interesting lunch, indeed, with Lincoln biographer and Jewish activist Emanuel Hertz, for here he not only says he enjoyed himself, but declares he looks forward “with a great deal of pleasure” to receiving a copy of Hertz’s brother’s book - Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz’s A Book of Jewish Thoughts - as well as “the latest translation of the Bible published by the Jewish Publication Society.”
On February 26th, Roosevelt Jr. had invited Hertz to the Harvard Club (see Roosevelt to Hertz, February 26, 1927). Perhaps they had discussed Hertz’s recent defeat as a Republican candidate for Congress in Manhattan’s 21st District – the very same district, in fact, that Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., had represented in the New York Assembly some forty years before.
