Letter from William H. Walker to Theodore Roosevelt
William H. Walker believes that “our ‘Monroe Doctrine’ is as big as our NAVY; and, no bigger.” He hopes that, as California makes up a large part of the coastline of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt will emphasize this point in his speeches while he travels through the state. If their mutual friend Edwin T. Earl, and the newspaper he publishes, were convinced of the idea, it would carry great weight with the public.
