Theodore Roosevelt does not understand C. Grant La Farge’s question, but suggests that Henry Adams’s History of the United States During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and History of the United States During the Administrations of James Madison will give the most detailed account of the matter. Concerning Napoleon’s account, Roosevelt urges La Farge to “discriminate between the real and make-believe facts.” Roosevelt believes that Great Britain was worse to the United States than France.
