Theodore Roosevelt greatly wishes he could have been president during the Mexican Revolution and the First World War. Roosevelt also wishes that the documents sent to him by Jean Jules Jusserand could be widely circulated. Roosevelt further states that he hopes the English and French governments will treat the Wilson administration the same way Abraham Lincoln’s administration treated the English and French governments during the American Civil War, when the official classes were hostile to the United States.
