Letter from Adèle Le Bourgeois Chapin to Theodore Roosevelt
Earl Grey, Governor General of Canada, would like to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Quebec by making the Plains of Abraham a national park and building an Angel of Peace statue there. He had noted to Adèle Le Bourgeios Chapin that he thinks it would be appropriate to get contributions from the United States, as the Plains of Abraham are part of its history as well. Chapin would like to ask Grey’s American friends to contribute to the statue’s fund, or perhaps even to give the statue as a gift, and asks President Roosevelt’s opinion on the advisability of this idea.
