Click on image to zoom in
Theodore Roosevelt thinks Sheldon Leavitt touches upon a topic of far-reaching importance in his letter, but he does not feel competent to deal with it. Roosevelt thinks it is a great deal more important to be able to deliver one’s self from evil than it is not to be led into temptation.
