President Roosevelt tells George Otto Trevelyan how much he liked his letter and book. Roosevelt is especially keen about Trevelyan’s description of a “Greek War” in modern terms, and even agrees with his “carefully guarded statement” about wanting to live in Ancient Greece. Roosevelt also discusses the Civil War connections on his personal staff.
