Letter from Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward to Theodore Roosevelt

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward praises President Roosevelt as the most strong, sincere, fearless, and beloved president since Abraham Lincoln. She does not approve of Roosevelt’s upcoming African safari, however. She both fears for his personal safety on the trip, and also believes that the killing of large animals for sport is inhumane. Had she been one of Roosevelt’s “personal friends,” she would have begged him not to go.
