Letter from Sarah Bancroft Leavitt to Theodore Roosevelt
Sarah Bancroft Leavitt express her joy at President Roosevelt’s election. She had been hoping Roosevelt would receive more votes than William McKinley did for his second term and believes it must be wonderful for Roosevelt to know that he was chosen. Leavitt observes how much it would have meant to Roosevelt’s father, Theodore Roosevelt, to know that his son was elected. She concludes by hoping Roosevelt’s name will be included as one of the greatest presidents in history.
