Letter from Lester Everret Broyles to Theodore Roosevelt
Lester Everret Broyles recalls a letter Theodore Roosevelt sent him on July 17, 1909 from Nairobi, Kenya. Broyles asks Roosevelt if he has yet read his book A Man Without Principle, as Broyles hopes Roosevelt will read it. Broyles details plans to research “rationale treatment” of people “having once sinned” and are seeking to better themselves, as he believes that new methods could show better results than “Prison Aid Societies and Parole Associations.” A leaflet was enclosed with the letter that includes reviews on Broyles’s work.
