Letter from Lewel R. Reid to Theodore Roosevelt
After attending Theodore Roosevelt’s speech at General Grant’s tomb, Lewel R. Reid expounds to Roosevelt on his thoughts on the themes of the address—”Duty” and “Self-denial”—alongside American figures who have displayed these virtues. Reid invites Roosevelt to embark on a venture to bring moral reform to the United States, and requests a meeting to discuss the topic further.
