Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry B. Needham

Subject(s): Elections, Publications, World War (1914-1918)

Theodore Roosevelt will send the pamphlets to Henry Needham when they are printed.

Roosevelt also appreciates Needham’s characterization of the British, French, and Belgians “as not being scoring machines but as being impossible to score against.”
