Letter from James Steptoe Johnston to Theodore Roosevelt
Episcopal Bishop James Steptoe Johnston is disappointed that he will not be able to welcome Theodore Roosevelt to San Antonio in person, as he must travel elsewhere in his diocese. Nevertheless, Johnston assures Roosevelt of his deep appreciation for Roosevelt and the work he does to help spread righteousness in the country. Johnston feels that there is room in the United States for a third political party based on the progressive principles that Roosevelt espouses, especially as it would attract young people from both existing political parties who want to work for reform.
