DEAR KERMIT: I sympathize with every word you say in your letter, about Nicholas Nickleby, and about novels generally. DEAR KERMIT I SYMPATHIZE WITH EVERY WORD YOU SAY IN YOUR LETTER ABOUT NICHOLAS NICKLEBY AND ABOUT NOVELS GENERALLY
real spirit of poetry in him. Whether he can make it come out I am not quite sure. Prince Louis of Battenberg has been here and I have been very much pleased with him. He is a really good admiral, and in addition he is a well-read and cultivated man and it was charming to talk with him. We had him and his nephew, Prince Alexander, a midshipman, to lunch alone with us, and we really enjoyed having them. At the State dinner he sat between me and Bonaparte, and I could not help smiling to myself in thinking that here was this British Admiral seated beside the American Secretary of the Navy--the American Secretary of the Navy being the grandnephew of Napoleon and the grandson of Jerome, King of Westphalia; while the British Admiral was the grandson of a Hessian general who was the subject of King Jerome and served under Napoleon, and then, by no means creditably, deserted him in the middle of the Battle of Leipsic. I am off to vote to-night. NOVELS AND GAMES White House, November 19, 1905.
