Letter from Robert B. Jennings to Theodore Roosevelt

Robert B. Jennings approves of Theodore Roosevelt’s recent speech at Grand Rapids, Michigan, on the occasion of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, and has observed that this approval is shared with people from every political party. Jennings recalls his service in the Civil War, but opines that in the future, war heroes will be obsolete, and the heroes of the people will be men like Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie, who work to stop or prevent wars. He suggests that the reservoir which will be created by Roosevelt Dam should be stocked with fish.
