Theodore Roosevelt tells Dr. White that he enjoyed a pamphlet written by White and essayist Agnes Repplier. Roosevelt indicates he has become a fan of Repplier’s, and especially appreciates an article she wrote in The Atlantic entitled “Christianity and War” in January 1915. Roosevelt encloses a letter he received from Rev. Frasier Metzger, son of German immigrants, also expressing appreciation for the article. Roosevelt wishes White to share this letter with Repplier.
