Letter from Grafton D. Cushing to Theodore Roosevelt
Grafton D. Cushing was riding with President Roosevelt’s daughter Ethel Roosevelt recently, and learned that the President was feeling a bit discouraged at the lack of support he seemed to receive from the upper classes. Cushing describes the good work that Roosevelt has done and continues to do, and expresses his admiration for Roosevelt’s efforts to create a more just government and improve the civic life of the nation. He also writes that Roosevelt has acted well in not appeasing social unrest through halfway measures, and that people must know that the government is the supreme law of the land.
