Letter from Henry Green to Theodore Roosevelt
Henry Green reminisces about his childhood in Albany, when he saw then Governor Theodore Roosevelt as a “God.” In 1910, Green supported William S. Bennet in his race for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives. He was disappointed to learn that Roosevelt sided with “pink tea politicians,” opposing Bennet. Green remarks about how much he enjoyed his and Roosevelt’s recent meeting, and that he was too overwhelmed to mention that Andrew D. White has agreed to serve on his committee, and Oscar Straus could soon join as well.
