President Roosevelt denies a statement that he attacked the Quakers and sends John E. Keyes a letter he wrote four years prior as proof. Roosevelt describes Quaker characteristics that he values, and says there were no better in the Civil War Army than the Quakers, though they are against fighting. Roosevelt supports the Republican Party’s right to ask for support of every friend of the country, as everyone is equal.
